What Sense Does It Make
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
What sense does it make.
To live and exist.
Initiating bigotry and hatred.
When many medicate.
In the hope to escape,
The truth and reality to replace...
What is witnessed to observe.
A teaching taught from birth to serve.
What sense does it make.
To daily numb away this pain that aches.
As so many fake,
Having a 'Christian' faith.
Pretentiously revealed to expose it shown,
Themselves devoted hypocrites.
Around the World well known.
Committing conflicts to then self inflict,
Proof and evidence...
Of an evil to spread it.
As if to want and wish,
More division to get!
What is the sense made of this.
That normalizes sickened mentalities.
Claiming to blame their insecurities,
On others received.
Others wanting to defend,
The right to live...
Peaceful lives as they please.
According as stated in the 1st Amendment.
Documented, adopted and cemented.
December 15, 1791.
As one of 10 Amendments.
That constitutes The Bill of Rights.
Known by those,
Unexpected these days...
Not to fight or defend living their lives.
While others picked and elected to rise,
In positions of power.
Deciding who or who should not,
Express their patriotism to a country.
Because of their ethnicity,
Color of skin.
Or an image that symbolizes to idolize,
Lies to deceive an imitating of a life.
To believe what has been faked to fiction,
Represents the reality of democracy!
What sense does it make,
To medicate a hatred.
As if it remains to benefit,
The very ones who create...
Their own mental illness to normalize,
A wrong way of life.
In the hope to erase,
What God has designed as is to stay!
