Analysis of Fictioned Contradictions

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Sickened by fictioned contradictions.
And deceiving beliefs,
Daily to change faithfully.

People are heard moaning in herds.
Like sheep told to follow,
One way to save...
Themselves from a threatening virus..
Is to be vaccinated to stay immune.
Without men or women to question,
What this will do...
To affect the rest of their lives.
And yet can not accept,
A decision that effects to protect...
Unborn children,
Prematurely put to death.
By a government that warms,
Nolonger will women...
Make this choice to do themselves.
But a few men appointed and elected,
To represent their archaic views,
Are expected to defend...
An ancient way of life,
That prevents future moves.
Regardless of the times...
People will do as they choose.
Since a democracy interprets,
They are entitled to rights...
To give them this freedom.

Sickened by hypocrisy.
And fictioned contradictions faced everyday.
Leaving people dictating to others,
To do what they are told...
What it is they should do.
Yet not to follow or obey rules put in place.
With a doing not to protest against them.
Since this is not a patriotic way,
To express freedoms given they get to do it.

'Black lives matter!'

'ALL LIVES MATTER!'

'Okay.
But when?'

'WHEN ALL OF OUR FICTIONED DELUSIONS,
BECOME NOTICEABLY THREATENED.
AND WE ARE VICTIMIZED,
BY REALITY AND THE TRUTH OF IT.
AND THIS IS AN ASSAULT,
ON A WAY OF LIFE...
NO ONE APPRECIATES OR RESPECTS.'

'This makes absolutely no sense at all.'

'IF ANYTHING WE DID,
MADE SERIOUS SENSE TO MAKE.
WHAT REASON WOULD ANY OF US HAVE,
TO FIND TIME TO PROTEST.
AND NOT USE OUR MINDS TO THINK!'
