Fearing Being Replaced
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The many caught up,
In false beliefs...
That a purity of their race,
Is actively in place.
Leaving it to wonder,
What purity is this not to exist.
Yet convinced,
They reflect to image it.
Worshipped to idolize.
To remove and be replaced.
We are living in times,
Created to leave folks crazed.
And...
Seems more of a doing,
By those fighting amongst themselves.
In fear of losing,
A fiction to delude.
By one who refuses to appear,
Without colorizing their own face.
To have long removed,
The truth of an identity.
More focused on fraud and deception.
A deception perfected,
With lies to tell and sold to convince...
Many.
That their way of life and entitlements,
Are being replaced.
And done to mean it meant.
To remove and replace,
Them from the human race.
Yet...
That to do and prove,
Seems amongst themselves...
These days to do.
As if...
Accustomed to exist,
Alone to have never done it.
Without their dependency on diversity.
And that will be a miracle.
When and if...
That goal to reach becomes theirs to believe!
'What do you mean...IF?
We are the face and image of GOD.'
'I know.
I too have seen those same movies.'
'Jews will not replace us.
Blacks will not replace us.
Nor will those brown, yellow or green.'
'Don't worry about that.
You're removing yourselves off the scene.
Whoa...
I apologize.
I meant to say,
Off TV screens.'
