Analysis of False Beliefs Deceived

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



It seems everywhere people are seen,
Fighting to preserve the false teachings...
Taught as children to believe.
Yet,
Today...
In clear and open display,
Many are discovering...
Even thoughts to think,
Have been intentionally deceived.

It is a probability,
Minds awakening to be...
Made aware of this could change,
The embedding of a way of life...
Fought to defend,
Their way of life to live is right.
Regardless if truth has begun,
To strip delusion from their fictioned eyes.

And yet haven't they been the ones,
Made fictioned to deceive reality as is.
To accept, follow along and also to allow,
Lies to live them.
Bigotry and racism to create and cause,
Between themselves chaos and division.
With this to blame and claim,
On the diversity of an ethnicity.
In places where faces had once described,
A greatness of an entitled democracy?

Until...
A few with no patriotic proof proven to show,
They volunteered to serve and protect...
Their pretensions to charade to value,
As much as they will masquerade in denial...
To have many accepting to believe,
These same people have qualities...
Dependable and worthy enough,
To sit and be elected as leaders.

And...
Gifted they are.
Talented and entertaining.
And wise in disguising,
The rhetoric content.
In their speeches heard to sell as told.
However...
Leaders to defend thus country we all live in?
Has its limits.
Done to observe and witnessed.
To believe what is being done to us all.
In a democracy falling quick not to stall.
Into a vast pit of bottomless B.S.

'If you don't like it here.
Go back to where you came from.'

'If I offered you advice,
I considered was right for you.
Would you take it?'

'I might.
What is it?'

'Why don't you be the one,
To go back to wherever you came from.
And leave me here,
With others you dislike and despise.
Done to say goodbye.
So we can begin to clean up your mess.
Left and familiar with your deceiving,
And atrocious premeditated misdeeds.'

'Object to what?
Leaving your mess for us to clean up?'

'No.
Not that.
I object to you getting all the attention.
And...
Me,
Not being around to take the credit for it!'
