Preventing Change

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Hello.
And how are you these days.
Still fixed to wishes,
Of wanting things to remain the same?
With a depicting of a normalcy,
To have never been...
Your version of what can be labelled sane.

Wake up kids.
Fictioning to delude what truth and reality is,
Has left you and many others...
Doing your best,
To hide your own insecurities.
Behind pretensions you must forgive.
And attempting to prevent,
An ongoing change of humanity?
Has created your own inability to accept...
The effect this has caused,
On your mentality to believe...
Others should live as you want them to be.

Good luck,
Don't get struck by a truck.
With the finding the appropriate medication.
That successfully numbs your mind.
Since this creation of life as we know it,
Is not confined to your interpretation.
Or mine.
In these ever changing,
Disbelieving to eventually believe times.

And those caught up,
In racial and replacement theories?
Take that debate to win it with God.
Afterall,
Who knows...
Even God could be convinced,
That a building of walls and fences...
Make sense.
To prevent more fools,
From contaminating His World.
With beliefs they can control and rule,
Over what they did not create.
Although...
Fools have proven,
They can't be shown or pay attention...
To anything that benefits,
Their own lives to recognize improvement!
Or what it is that destroys themselves.
