Either Mindless Or Unconscious
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Either mindless or unconscious.
Are the ones determined,
To turn the World...
Into their personal insane domain.
With it done to forget,
No power to claim to obtain it...
Is not theirs to sustain.
Without the Creator of this Earth,
Left amused and entertained...
By such ambitious pointless nonsense.
Fearing they do a losing of an image.
An image imitated,
From theft and deception.
Assisted by idolizing themselves,
As rulers of the Universe.
Using the media,
To keep them convinced...
Anything kept to fiction,
Can be taught and brought to life.
With money to advertise,
Whatever they like that defies reality.
Yet...
Nothing there is about truth,
They can accept to realize.
No power is greater,
Than that which The Almighty has.
And showing with it done to prove,
To the ones who refuse to acknowledge...
God giveth.
To take away in seconds,
From those choosing to play games...
With a Creator losing patience,
Done to make it shown and known...
A power so tremendous,
Like none ever seen to believe.
Leaving fools exposed...
For who they are.
As a decision God has made.
To ensure those conscious,
Are left to learn and understand...
Whatever mess a man-made creation is,
God will choose,
The when to correct...
Any and all imperfections.
As He, She or the IT sees fit to do.
'Weren't you warned?'
'Yes, but...'
'And weren't you sent messages?
Signs?
Even the blind would notice?'
'Yes, but...
We lived to work for those possessions.
And Mother Nature came along.
And took our valuables away.'
'Pray!'
'Pray?
For what and why?'
'God left you with your life to live.
And still you complain,
About others taking over...
What is yours.
Although...
What is yours to claim it is,
The Earth inherits.
And...
Guess what?'
'What?'
'Everything you have to have had it,
Will stay on the Earth.
Regardless whatever it is,
You say others are coming...
To take away from you.
And not one has yet admitted,
A wanting to wish...
Your ignorance to be theirs.
That I suspect,
Will be yours to keep...
For the rest of your mindless,
And unconscious life.'
'Well...
That's a relief.
So glad I am you reminded me of that!
Since I paid good money,
To stay that way.'
'I don't believe what I'm hearing you say.'
'You don't have to believe it.
My creditors know,
How much I paid for student loans.
And living beyond my means.
Do you realize how expensive that is?
Of course you wouldn't.'
'And why is that?'
'Come on
How obvious can the obvious get?'
'Excuse me?
I'm here to assess your losses. That's all.
I happen to work,
For your insurance company.'
'To then what?
Move next door?
When my property has lost,
The sweat equity I put into it?
