Inside The Rising Heat
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Approval is every move taken to make.
And awaiting,
For their steps to be evaluated,
Are the ones seeking opportunities...
Handed.
To allow them to freely breathe.
Hoping,
This to do they will receive.
As homemade slaves.
Restricted to mental limits.
Approved they are,
The ones aware.
By those themselves and everyone else,
Who has the authority done to prove...
Those who are certified graduates.
Schooled in thoughtless mindlessness.
Loyal, obedient and true to follow,
Undefined lawlessness and unjustified rules.
In times frozen to pledge,
To an ignorance.
Never to abandon nor attempt to ever leave.
Inside the rising degree of heat.
Within their own domain.
Regardless what decisions are made.
That prevents escapes.
Even by the ones given the authority,
To set up the traps with backs turned away.
Knowing their lives to sacrifice.
Will declare them someday as heros.
If the act of treachery and betrayal succeeds!
