Analysis of A Precious Kept Illusion
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
This precious kept illusion.
Nobody lives to own.
This precious kept illusion.
To fiction going on.
Deluded in minds to condone,
An erroneous perception of reality.
Concept or belief believed,
Power grab to it to control and rule...
Minds deranged with it for them to claim,
Ownership allowed,
Will undo what can't be changed.
Racist bigots wasting all their time.
Wishing to be idolized: worshipped in minds.
Reflecting their image as one of a kind.
Yet foolish are these people,
Everywhere to find.
Thoughtless.
And limited in consciousness.
Foolish are these people everywhere to find,
Thoughtless and mentally limited.
An erroneous perception of realty stays...
Of a concept,
Fictioned to delude an illusion.
Evolving everyday into something else, Changed!
Evolving everyday not to remain the same.
The racists and the bigots,
Are defeating themselves.
Not to know or realize,
We are all living to evolve...
And change.
Yet...
The racists and the bigots choose to stay,
Insane.
Who put this limit in their brains.
Who put this illness in their minds to find,
And define it as precious.
The racists and bigots choose to stay insane!
But, what put this limit in their brains.
And what put this illness in their minds,
Everyday found precious!
An illusion kept to worship will change,
Perceptions.
Illusions kept to worship will change.
All illusions kept to worship will change,
Direction.
Eveything to live it never stays the same.
Regardless of political/religious beliefs.
Kept debated as normal life to function.
From one decade to another outdated,
To fade.
As if a mirage.
To fade!
Like a mirage,
That fades away forever.
Gone!
Racists and the bigots are the same.
Gone.
Racists and the bigots unchanged.
Gone!
