No Defense
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Explaining the unexplainable.
Inevitably,
Has its own guilt.
And sentenced with time,
On one's mind deserving of it served.
Gone to no longer
Is the excusing of ignorance.
As a reason to being used,
For anyone claiming not to know...
Today's occurring events to pretend,
They had no knowledge of them.
When a sniffing of this filth,
Is swift and quick in the air everywhere.
There is no defense to pretend,
Or blame it claimed on ignorance.
Stupidity?
Perhaps.
But even that to use as one's defense,
Has those positions already filled.
By those imitating to be intelligent.
With an acceptance,
That has every decision they make...
Pass suspicions without questioning them.
Yet comes to be done one day,
Consequences for one's actions...
Is delivered and addressed to be paid.
Personally.
Leaving it senseless in attempts to explain,
The unexplainable.
Them being a participant in these events.
Without having the knowledge,
Or being aware of posing in pictures.
And captured in videos,
Admitting to declare their involvement.
