Analysis of The End Of Perpetual Denial



The people have had it,
With beliefs deceiving...
The truth of reality.

'They could have found another way.
Than throwing bowls,
Loaded with cherries onto the highway.
What on Earth do they think this proves?'

Eventually they will discover,
Life to live has its pits.
And will end their perpetual denials.
I pray for those days to come.

'But...
What about those,
Driving innocently on the highway?
Some may be killed.
Trying to avoid the cherries with pits.'

Oh?
How would they know which was which?
If they had found to find out,
For themselves.
That life lived to delude free of pits?
None of this would have had a need,
To escalate such hatred.
With a viciousness.
That many took for granted...
Those they were taught to be immigrants,
Were secretly the reason and cause...
That their quality of lives ruined,
Had been intended to be pitless.
From the very beginning.

'Thoughts like that to keep are ridiculous.'

And...
That's not all,
Those conservative folks...
Living mentally cement in fiction,
Have on their tormented minds.
Driving them to absolute madness!
They could eventually begin to ban books.
Schools, libraries.
And scriptures to quote.
From Bibles.
To demand deceiving hypocrites,
Disguise themselves as founders...
And descendents of the Bigfoot family!
