Think This Over
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Gone and fading away is a need to say,
A being unaware of a game played.
Kept to portray a betrayal on display,
These corrupted, criminal and deceiving days!
Stop!
And think this treasonous mindset over.
False and meant kept to keep beliefs.
Knocking on every door.
Promising a freedom from grief.
To explore more suffering without relief.
Stop!
And think this nonsense over.
Eroding on a daily basis is a quality of life.
With an escalating of bigotry.
Homemade to carry chips on shoulders.
Everywhere to see it bloom.
Blossoming to feed false kept to keep beliefs.
As truth to hear it heard is deceived freely.
Stop!
In the name above.
We've come to call Him God!
Kick the clowns leading you around out,
Of your life and in your minds to worry about.
Stop!
And think this over.
Take that baggage off your bended shoulders.
Stop!
In the name above.
Before you lose your mind!
Think this over.
Take the time and use your mind.
To think this over.
Eroding truth to keep it fictioned.
Eroding truth to keep it fictioned.
Eroding truth to keep it fictioned.
Left smothered up in the shadows of love!
Eroding truth to keep it fictioned.
Eroding truth to keep it fictioned.
Eroding truth to keep it fictioned. .
And smothered up in the shadows of love!
