With Toxic Moxey
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Determined.
With a toxic moxey.
And perseverance to produce,
To prove only they have the right tools.
That could and would,
Improve and not diminish...
The moody attitudes,
That excludes most who have felt to feel...
Themselves ignored.
And not included to be heard,
For all they've gone through.
Knowing they should first be served.
At a table with equal service.
Others invited do not deserve!
Determined with a toxic moxey.
They will not be treated as useless fools.
For the purpose to address.
Sitting behind spotless windows.
Just to impress the image of acceptance.
Yet denied to direct and take control over,
Their own direction and happiness to get.
So...
With unexpected to detect moxey.
They began to protest.
And refused to accept,
Positions to sit and just window dress.
To demand until they received,
The corrected teaching of their history.
Done to also expose,
A reality and truth...
Of who sat to deceived,
Impressively dressed pretentiously to be...
Kings and Queens.
When actually they had been the servants.
Before selling to delude,
Themselves to have created...
False identities sold to believe!
With a toxicating addiction to perceive,
Others they disqualified...
Taught them everything they stoled.
Historically to claim ownership.
Yet not the obviousness but patronizing,
Of their normalizing vast to last ignorance!
