Analysis of What Has This Proven
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
A fed kept to feed,
The feeding of a breeding...
A sustained yet flawed pretentiousness.
From one generation to the next accepted.
Refusing the truth and the absence of it.
Intentionally excluded.
With this meant for centuries,
And decades to continue going to do.
Proving for who,
The doing of what to be accomplished?
There is no progress that benefits,
Ignorance.
Observed to witness it encouraged.
And bloom to flourish.
By those who believe,
They were born with bravery and courage.
Chosen to be the ones selected picked.
To depict and interpret who God is.
Done to anoint themselves,
As descendents representing disciples.
Given the power to undo God's domain!
Proving fiction to delude is addictive!
Once unleashed,
From a darkened unconscious mindset.
Enjoying the spreading of their havoc!
