Analysis of Exciting Abhorrence
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Even if from birth to adulthood,
We are nauseously flawed.
Many will be taught,
They should become proud and excited...
About their unique abhorrence.
When people grow from birth to adulthood,
A truth to sell told sold...
May not be the truth as is to be believed.
And seldom those that grow into adults,
Will never agree to examine discrepancies.
Or discover the importance,
Of deductive reasoning...
To validate and communicate,
How they came to a conclusion made.
We are not, collectively, that intelligent,
As an advanced society claims to be.
Too many we live behind fences and walls,
Have isolated themselves.
With beliefs and thoughts,
In their minds installed.
Cemented into permanent ignorance.
And...
Taught to teach,
To accept, protect and defend it.
Whether or not seduced by fiction to delude.
We are only know what we know.
And that's it until we begin to see,
From birth to adulthood...
All of us are judged,
By others themselves not perfect at all.
Nauseously flawed.
Abhorrent unique.
Although with one exception.
Many are given acceptance and approval.
And others?
Not reflecting that image approved to accept.
Are not among the ones,
Given equal respect.
Nor appreciation,
For their different appearances reflected.
As human beings.
We all were created,
By God as is meant to be.
Inhabitants blessed to live on Earth.
Where nothing is the same to see duplicated.
And that...
Declared made consciously aware of it,
Has yet to happen.
