Conditioned
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
When people are conditioned and trained,
To appreciate the creating...
Of their own crazed madness.
Over time to adapt and normalize.
There is no cure to prevent,
That which has been allowed to begin.
And taught to keep defended.
With a doing to expect,
What is accepted to end...
A reality deluded.
This effect sickens mentalities. Intentionally wounded.
For centuries and decades.
Following a way of life to live it...
Subjected to fear and threats.
Perceiving benefits ultimately,
Are received.
By creating to make,
Their own enemies to stay that way!
Done to fiction a vision evaporating.
Rapidly out of a protective denial.
Erasing this entitlement out of sight.
Leaving truth accused.
Abused.
Tormented and victimized.
Not for what truth isn't.
But...
For many what truth is unable to defeat!
Disappointing,
The submission of a defective condition!
