Episodic Chaos
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Will there be in times to come,
Episodic chaos...
Only in minds to welcome a craze,
Known done...
As a way our children,
The future leaders of this nation.
Accept to expect,
As a normal life they will insist to live.
And...
Memories of peace,
To dismiss for years and decades...
Gone to pass.
Gone to think of a living peacefully,
Between all races of various ethnic faces.
Just another myth.
Like others heard to ignore when told,
About those days of old...
When people treated each other respectfully.
And children actually grew,
With a wish to want...
To be responsible for their actions.
With this made known and shown,
When they had children of their own.
Who were discipline, respectful.
Without it taught to believe,
The color of one's skin...
Identified them as being less human.
Will there be in times to come,
Those looking back...
At today's ignorant and dumb things done?
Will there be in times in future,
If done to come.
People living as human beings?
Or...
Will there be beasts seeking to defeat,
One another.
Over what God has created.
And the Earth awaits to receive it back.
Like everything else the Earth inherits!
From all that lives.
Temporarily inhabiting it!
