Too Much To Bear
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
A doing to witness it come,
Left done...
With it intended,
Announced and mentioned again to repeat.
To still disbelieve,
The doing of it witnessed come...
Should not stay to keep anyone stunned,
In disbelief...
A doing to witness,
Announced and mentioned again to repeat.
Is kept disbelieved.
With a stunning done many refuse to accept,
As an intentional activity.
With it intended to be witnessed.
Yet...
Every step of it observed,
Getting closer to serve truth unperturbed...
By who refuses to accept,
This or That of proof to deny...
The existence of evidence and facts.
It will not be the believers,
Running away as if chased by skepticism.
It will be nonbelieving skeptics,
Chase by the haunting of denials lived...
Getting close enough,
To strip them butt naked.
Without a single pretension to cover up,
Every flaw and blemish...
Stretched.
And wide.
On behinds of those who claim,
Their patriotism to capitalism.
With it shown to make known,
An appreciation of their materialistic greed.
Never should have anyone left to question,
Their loyalty to defend and protect...
Each and every entitlement they get.
Regardless if the weight of it,
Seems to others too much to bear...
On shoulders.
Hips.
Thighs.
Knees.
Calves.
Ankles and feet!
