The First And Last
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The first they are to call themselves,
Faithful, loyal and believers of God.
And last to admit,
Themselves to be hypocrites.
Deceivers responsible,
Of creating chaos, confusion and division.
Permitted to allow,
Their denial of this continued to exist.
Observed and it to witness on a daily basis!
To then hear heard to have them say,
The ones unable to conform...
Are the mavericks, trouble makers.
With mental instabilities.
Who can not accept,
A normal way of life to live.
Without complaining about injustices.
To delude the reality of truth to refuse,
Has been a production to fiction...
Minds abused to use as tools to treat.
Done to keep all addicted,
To the sweet taste of life kept to defend.
As the first and last not to know,
What a duping to be tricked means.
