Criminal Reflections
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Criminal reflections.
To reject them to accept.
Or expect from the neck up.
The effectiveness of of accusations,
Are more than just alleged.
Leaving them left and caught.
In a trapping of their own mindset.
To refuse this taught.
And normalized as a way of life.
Lived to believe to defend at their best.
Although insist to persist,
Of having a consciousness innocent.
And unaware of an image,
That matches them with a perfect fit.
Regardless of their attempts to dismiss.
The events and activities,
From birth taught and permitted to exist.
To have it heard to hear from them repeated,
Of having no acknowledgement...
That a doing of crimes to undermine others.
Had the permission and consent,
With it done to do...
By any means necessary to refuse to hear,
Themselves to have been...
The cause and reason,
A quality of life would be better to appetite.
If they destroy the main ingredient.
For something more suitable to like.
Yet...
That had not been taught to teach.
What that 'suitable' way of life should be.
Before and or after,
They took it upon themselves...
To destroy humanity!
With a consciousness to declare innocence!
