Analysis of How Conveniently Coincidental
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
How conveniently coincidental,
You bring up the topic...
Of diversity and racism.
With critical race and replacement theories.
Done to claim,
What had been your ancestors crimes.
Are not yours to be blamed for it.
But not once during our conversation,
Did I mention any of that.
'You had to have been thinking about it!'
'Because...
Well,
Because of the obvious.'
'Your ancestors and mine,
Could care less...
About the color of who they had sex with.
To have generations of their descendants,
Ours, mine and yours too!
Attempting to erase the facts.
With an introducing of a fiction.
To remove the reality...
Deluding the truth,
Has left us all messed up.'
'How can you say that?'
'What attracts millions of people,
To follow behind...
Any who frauds, deceives and fakes.
Habitually lies with no end to it.
And applies an unnatural color to their skin.
Then cheered and applauded,
For being the main cause and reason...
They are instructed to destroy,
A way of life.
With a doing it to eventually,
Replace themselves off the face of Earth.
Show me,
Where the sense of this is made.
And I will show you,
A hive of busy empty minds.
Stuck in a World of crazy B.S.
They have been told and convinced,
Delivers only the scent and taste of honey.'
'Change has to begin somewhere.
Before adjusting to adapt to it!'
'One day,
People will awaken to realize...
Cows don't drink their own milk.
Or seen enjoying barbecue ribs,
Celebrating the holidays!'
'Maybe...
Maybe they have unique and different,
Religious beliefs?'
'Dear Father God.
Was this creation of Yours,
Intended and meant to stay this way?
I'm just asking.
Because...
Nuts everywhere seem not to notice or care,
Being loosened.
From where they had been,
Bolted down and tight.
Now...
If this has been a figment of my imagination?
You, Father God,
Work in the most mysterious of ways.
Even a man-made crazy will never compare.
Regardless how close the comparison gets!'
'You forgot to say something.'
'What do you mean?'
'When I knew you were praying.
And not just ignoring me.
I knelt down behind you.
You forgot to say...Amen!'
