Analysis of Phenomenal Depths Of Innocence
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Listening to hear.
Without comprehending.
Yet believed is one who speaks.
With authoritative certainty.
As if knowledgeable to understand,
What was spoken to interpret...
From an alternate point of view.
Preachers, teachers.
And others who lecture...
From behind podiums do this.
Hoping to capture,
A focus of attention upon them done quick.
Bible scripture quoting readers,
Often discovered and found in the midst.
Giving their version,
Of what they did not read clearly.
Or heard to hear with this done completely.
Although...
Those self anointed,
When approached will confess...
Of not being able to remember,
When, where or who to address.
As to how they obtained such wisdom.
To accept then deny,
Their own embellishments.
Done with attempts,
Of not telling anyone else to convince.
Or believe...
What was told to them had to true.
And they are not like others...
Proclaiming to profess,
Phenomenal depths of innocence.
When their eyes contradict,
What comes out of their mouths.
Leaving anyone listening suspicious of it.
'So...
What you all are saying to me,
Is even though you were there.
And together.
None of you know anything,
About what was seen?
Heard to hear?
Or quote scriptures from Bibles,
Each one of carry!'
'What the LORD and GOD,
Has chosen us to do faithfully everyday.
Is not our business to question,
The mysterious ways in which GOD moves.
We are witnesses and not judges to pass it!'
'Oh, my goodness!
You all are something else.'
'And...
What do you mean by that?'
'You have been chosen to be SPECIAL!'
'Oh.
How nice of you to notice.
And our motto is...
Everything heard to hear.
Or read to 'read'...
Is unnecessary to spread around.
Without proof or evidence of it found.
Since demons are everywhere,
Spreading vicious lies and gossip to start.
And people like that,
Have nothing else to do...
But masquerade to portray,
Themselves to be devoted Christians.'
'So noticeably true and honest you are.'
'Thank you, again.
For your kind words and observations.'
'Hey,
No problem.
So much of life I am still learning.'
'Understood to understand.
You know...
It takes patience and tolerance.
To await and witness to see,
What it is God and the Lord...
Ultimately does to do.
For us all to eventually reveal.'
'I hear you loud and clear!'
