Analysis of Wrongly Inflicted
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Many injuries wrongly inflicted.
Are difficult to forgive.
With an ease to forget,
A pain that sits.
To feel every bit of it time does not mend.
Unjustifiable actions,
Against those known to be innocent.
Are seldom left to go.
Without someone paying the costly price.
For consequences no one should afford!
