Analysis of Without Truth Known
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Without truth known to know,
Embraced to face it.
And shown in these times lived,
An attempt to erase and replace...
With a rewriting to eliminate,
Events that took place to make...
A history unknown to fiction.
Does nothing for a society,
Claiming to be great.
When the fate of what is claimed,
Begins to take a downward slide.
When intentions are meant to hide,
From children and growing young adults...
The truth an reality as to how and why,
A society they pride to be proud of...
Has been deceived to have them believe,
Those of ethnic diversified ancestry...
Should not be deserving,
Of equal rights or treated to honor...
For contributions made,
Of every aspect of that greatness.
Done unafraid and to do it in protest.
In the hope today's children,
And all young adults too.
Take it upon themselves,
To research the truth as is to be.
With a not allowing to continue,
Their minds to fiction and delude to keep...
False beliefs.
Kept in away to disrespect,
Those proving more patriotic.
Than the ones who pledge their allegiance,
To division.
Chaos, bigotry and racism.
As if this to do is progress.
Instead of a destruction to a way of life.
Observed to witness and revealed to see,
Just who it is deciding to destroy...
A great with potential to be even greater,
A democracy slipping away...
From lies told to deceive the reality.
Of its existence as is to be.
Without images to delude,
Who did what to do to live it fictioned!
Truth to know,
Has never been anyone's enemy.
Lies told to deceive,
Has always been a threat to those...
Who have chosen to chose and select,
Their own enemies to accept...
The only way to live to pay homage to a past.
Imagined to have had.
Yet that truth to sell and delude...
Did not exist either!
How could it.
How could that be reality.
How could these days,
Not be lived in peaceful ways.
If truth to live then had been also invented.
For wars to fight and justify.
To achieve the doing of what?
Image.
Or decades and centuries of hidden,
And kept protected insecurities!
