Regretful Threats
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It has been known.
For many years exposed and shown.
Threats made from isolated places.
By those no one claims to know.
Who hide behind disguises.
Done to bait,
Their division and escalated hatred.
With a using of a defense,
That others they discriminate against.
Intend to replace,
Their deluded and fictioned lives to live.
While diminishing the quality of it.
Yet...
Those who claim this,
Have proven to be...
Destroying what is positive.
To celebrate amongst themselves,
A display of worshipping...
All that is negative with this done to do!
But...
Who but them hidden.
In places isolated.
With claims made to represent,
Themselves to be in the majority.
And...
Of the superior race.
Sitting in places to determine,
Who they hire, fire and discriminate against.
While making the excuse,
The ones reduced...
To live impoverished, disenfranchised.
Hungry and homeless.
With a doing to rely,
Upon those in positions...
Controlling 'their' lives,
Using deception and the telling of lies.
Hiding from the truth.
In places to have it believed.
They are the ones threatened by diversity.
What comes next?
Regretful threats made?
When reality to fiction,
Their version of truth...
Discovered that does not exist.
Is found to find,
Comes done to threaten...
The very ones in places,
Disgracing to eliminate...
Their own way of life.
With entitlements given to them to enjoy.
Too late to recognize,
That which had been taken for granted.
To regret themselves to have been,
Continuing successfully to be...
Threats!
Threats!
Done to claim it blamed to come,
From somewhere else but not them.
Them who buy the weapons.
Them who live in isolation.
Them who effectively protect themselves.
Themselves against,
What they have made to create and delude.
To delude and fiction,
Threats.
And mentalities to believe,
This increasing sick craze is envied!
As a way of life.
Dreamed to wish it wanted lived!
