Analysis of In No Position
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
In no position,
Is anyone who has been pre-conditioned.
To discriminate and pass judgement.
On others subjected to being,
Purposely disrespected.
In no position,
Is anyone given entitlements.
And with a right taught to believe,
The air we all breathe is miraculously...
Different.
Than other human beings living,
Inhaling to exhale what God has created.
To think this for some is done and theirs,
Exclusively.
While they do as they choose.
As if permitted to continue,
Whatever they do selfishly to please...
Themselves.
On an Earth in a Universe,
No human can claim is manmade.
And yet...
Many preconditioned,
To perceive and made to believe...
The cream of the crop.
Chosen to rise to the top of humanity.
And selected to sit,
In positions to make decisions...
Who amongst themselves,
Are more deserving than the rest...
Also blessed.
Yet...
Remain determined,
To neglect truth and reality.
From a limited stubborn consciousness.
Can not blame their self destruction,
Done effectively to themselves.
When it is observed to witness,
The doing of this...
Has been restricted to those,
Who have chosen a road to prove...
In no position will they ever be,
To portray a better God.
Than The Almighty who teaches,
This lesson taught to everyone.
To come done eventually to learn.
'You and your prophesies!'
A prophet?
I am not.
An observer?
Yes.
And I also confess,
Of making accusations.
Made to realize,
I have been paying too much attention...
To my lieing ears and eyes.
I apologize for not acknowledging,
A fiction that has deluded...
A way of life to disguise the truth of it.
'Well...
At least you admit,
Your living in denial...
Has sickened your mind.
And the normalcy,
Of what having consciousness is.'
So right you are.
Afterall...
Who am I to attempt to offend,
The truth of your beliefs.
'Exactly.
When I awakened one day to realize,
My ears and eyes were lieing to me?
I said to myself,
This is God's reality to create.
And I am in no position,
To say what God does to do...
Is not meant to be what it is.
Accept it or not,
We are all a work in progress here.
Ever changing and always evolving!'
So...
What do you suggest or recommend?
'Me?
I am in no position to do either one.
May God bless those,
Who anoint themselves...
As decision makers and power brokers!
I've got enough as it is on my mind.'
