Deceiving And False
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Deceiving to have believed,
A falsity to fiction purposely.
Knowing if taught to teach repeatedly,
Reality it becomes to accept.
Protect and defend.
With loyalty to pledge.
Until the beginning of its bitter end.
Then...
What is denial all about?
And accusations made to create division.
Racism.
Along with the obvious to witness,
The increasing competence...
Of those exposing proudly,
Their ethnic heritage.
Ancestry and diversity!
Who is it these times to find just discovered?
And...
Who is it living these times,
Difficult to admit...
Surviving independently in isolation.
Done to claim themselves the 'chosen ones'.
Why do they start wars and conflicts,
Among others to begin.
Before declaring to prove,
Battles to fight themselves...
Makes peace to achieve it,
A teachable way to show...
How humanity progresses and accomplishes,
Enlightenment, understanding.
And an appreciation to comprehend,
The meaning of love!
