Fighting Against What To Prevent

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



It can not be,
The stopping to end...
A high rising cost it takes,
To pay for the continuance of kept ignorance.
Fighing against what to prevent?
Could it be,
The existence of humanity?
Well...
For some doing it done,
With this to leave the Earth...
Without evidence of life,
Never for anyone left to have welcomed it.
Today actions seem appropriate.
Even if it means,
Those appointed to do wicked things...
Are endorsed and supported.
By those who also,
Eliminate their own breath to breathe.
To believe it to fiction,
Themselves to be blessed with immortality!
Done to make it easier,
For God to create a much better World.
