Analysis of True Nature Of The Beast
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Whatever comes to be done what may.
Know.
Only God can correct,
The true nature of the beast.
To be observed without fear to watch.
And witness it.
With faith kept to keep within.
Leaving the use,
Of the most powerful weapons...
An unnecessary ďefense.
Know,
When God decides to end battles.
Not authorized by The Almighty to begin.
No one should perceive it to believe,
The sound of cheering voices heard...
To assume themselves of winning a victory.
Is...
Much too premature.
Amateurish and repeatedly premeditated.
By visions deluded.
As if miraged into unlimited mental fiction.
And enchanted by...
A variety of alternate irresistible realities.
No one else close enough can see!
Touch or feel.
Without the ease,
Of time releasing medication.
How can it be possible,
To not know how God works in many ways.
Too mysterious to define.
Yet...
For those unaware.
Unconscious, unprepared.
Although...
Presenting to represent themselves,
As children dressed to play grown ups.
Assuming themselves victorious to have won,
Battles fought.
Dressed as heros performing from a couch,
Never getting up to leave where they've sat.
Throwing pillows at each other.
And God already knows,
When the time comes to stop...
The scene stealing over dramatic activities,
Of costumed monsters!
