Hypocrisies To Contradict

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



The winning of what,
That has been debated to contradict...
Ongoing to remain unchanged,
Hypocrisies.
In minds determined,
To move a cemented fence.
Has wasted time and common sense.
Whenever those on one side of it,
Agrees.
And made convinced,
The ones on the other side...
Are right with the decision,
To keep a cemented fence kept where it is.
Believing to have been defeated,
By those limited in consciousness.

'For years,
We wanted to move that cemented fence.
Done to include benefits for all.
And those on the other side of it,
Opposed our request.
Assuming we were wishing,
To less acknowledge their success.
With claims this would prevent to end,
An image!
An image that would replace,
The diversity of faces...
Of the ones who built the fence,
In the first place.

And this was fine.
Until...
They discovered,
We wanted to share our resources.
Found to find,
On our side of the fence.
More of value than theirs?
And now they want to claim,
That which has been ours...
Since time began.
As theirs not to share but own!'

And there it is!
Conflicts to begin them started.
Over hypocrisies.
Defended in protest,
By the very ones...
Contradicting,
What only they have done to themselves.
With a claiming they will not be replaced.
By theories of any kind.
Although...
Blinded by the 'Wokeness!'

Yet...
Insisting their own way of life,
Is theirs to erase.
Regardless of the proof and evidence,
That reveals in videos and pictures produced...
Of themselves,
Refusing to acknowledge and admit...
The only ones shown,
Destroying attempts to further accomplish...
More and greater achievements.
Is. And, has been known to be...
Wait for it.
Pass the envelope, PLEASE!
The winner has always been 'THEMSELVES'.

Delivering one of the best performances,
Humanity has ever...
In the highest of the latest High Def there is.
Observed to witness.
And removed from delusion to deny,
This stuff has been made up and not real!

THEMSELVES.
Congratulations!
THEMSELVES? Please come forward.
And accept your iconic award.
THEMSELVES?

It seems...
Hold on.
Coming forward to accept this award,
Will be...
THEY and THEM?
The THEY and THEM of OURSELVES?
What is this ceremony,
Attempting to be all about?
Inclusion?
Or...
A celebration of ignorance?
Publicly presented no one refuse its presence!
