Analysis of Nightmares Created
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Rushing with lightning speed,
To find a way to rid and end...
Permanently.
The existence of truth.
And the evidence providing proof,
Their fictioned smothered lives...
No longer can hide them,
Drowning in the rising hide tide of denial.
They have begun to ban books.
Unplugging to disconnect,
From the internet.
And demanding all colors be removed,
Unused from all crayon boxes...
In elementary schools.
With their own children prevented,
To see anyone of color...
Being represented as warriors or heros.
In videos, movies or on their TV screens.
That ensures,
Deception to delude and fiction truth...
Remains to stay betrayed forever.
Leaving the ones crazed and lost,
Without minds to use or found to find.
Done to prove,
There had been once a time...
Self inflicted ignorance,
And insanity to become addicted to it.
Was not a mission to achieve for so many,
As their destination and goal...
They defended and threatened,
To accomplish and claim sole ownership!
'This can not be,
Sought as a mission...
For those that mindless,
Defending their self inflicted ignorance.
As a way to protect,
Their lives to live kept fictioned.'
'Keep saying it.
Who knows?
Maybe this wish to dream,
Will one day have many...
Awaken to see,
A nightmare!
A nightmare,
They created.
Alone to condone.
With it admitted to own!
No one else wishes to borrow or lease.
Or...
Discovered it witnessed,
Them to be raging in jealousy and envy.'
'And...
How is it,
People picked and declared enemies...
Are the ones minding their own business.
Nowhere near the scene of the crime?
Yet provoked into participating.'
'I kept telling my own lieing eyes,
The same exact thing!'
