Notion
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Many have been taught and given the notion,
For centuries and decades set into motion.
To perceive kept in their minds,
Cemented permanently to believe...
Themselves to be,
The only image of God intended...
As perfectly created human beings.
Flawless.
Blemish free.
And meant to imitate to stay that way.
God is many things to explore and see.
Who historically,
Sickened with this mentality to fiction.
Without it to mention,
Truth to delude had been the intention.
To avoid and dismiss reality to forget it.
Who switched off everyone's consciousness,
To roam in an eternal darkness.
Done to accept such colorless nonsense.
With a doing that attempts,
The worshipping of a false pretentiousness.
Fading into chaos.
Making division, racism and conflicts,
B.S. fed kept to exist.
Who that crazed,
Had been made to follow and obey,
Could turn thinking human beings,
Into self destructive zombies.
Duped to drug and numbed to dumbness.
Left stunned by an overwhelming,
Attractiveness frauded to charade.
And...
In full masquerade costumed AND masked!
Many,
Have been taught and given the notion,
That a provoking civil unrest...
Would be a test of their power to rule,
With a self righteousness.
Chosen to perform a controlling over,
All living forms of life there is.
Hoping to disguise a despising of themselves.
Exposed in their tormented eyes.
Neither hidden to deceive or lie to hide,
A denying of...
Well,
What else could it be?
Besides...
An inflicting of pain and the shame of sorrow!
With a dignity to lose shredded into pieces.
Not to mention the absence of integrity gone.
Who was it to have this ember lit to burn.
With it to believe it would become,
An eternal flame?
A pendulum seen to swing away.
Like a boomerang tossed in play.
And evil shown thrown to know it,
For what it is meant to do and be.
Comes back around.
To return eventually to its origin found!
Leaving one's tolerating of patience,
Observing this always to witness...
That which is born to birth from Earth,
Is not a mistake for anyone hoping...
They can easily recreate,
For purposes to satisfy the craving of self...
With a wish to have others worship.
