Condemning Permission Given
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Condemning permission given,
To entitlements without limits...
Or the freedom to interpret,
A document to express...
Free speech as a way to commit,
The hypnotizing of homicide...
On a daily basis to display,
This to be freedom.
Condemned to hear heard and it to say.
Has yet to have a sitting to elect,
Politicians in positions...
Taking actions to erase,
That which has disgraced democracy.
With a doing to believe,
If they did anything about it...
They would lose their support.
And lucrative endorsements.
Paid to them to sit making speeches.
To have their constituents believe,
A quality of life speeding downhill.
Is an action that keeps all protected,
From threats that neglects...
Humanity expected to accept,
An ongoing domesticated craze.
With this done to believe,
Human life is more to them valued.
Than their attraction to status to have.
Or money to receive.
As long as the rhetoric kept to deceive.
Remains believable enough,
No one will notice...
The high price it costs to pay,
To keep truth deluded to fiction reality!
'If you don't like what is being done.
Go back where you came from.'
'And...
What about you?
Where did you come from?
With it to perceive and it to believe,
That a destroying where we both live.
Born and raised.
Will make it better.
With a condoning to permit,
A condemnation that exists.
Done yet not to admit,
You are the reason and cause of it.'
'I object to your insinuations.'
'And I object to your inability,
To face the facts...
Of your childish actions.
Is it the truth that upsets you more?
Than a fiction you adore?'
'I would respond.
However...
What it is I value to treasure,
Will not be tossed away.
For a truth and reality.
You say,
Is an undoing of my way of life.
To be replaced by racial theories.
And the rise of ethnic diversity.'
'No one but you who sit,
In positions to control and rule...
Have convinced yourself,
Others are jealous and envious...
To observe and witness to see,
You taking steps to ruin yourself!
With a denial to fiction,
Your destruction is beneficial to anyone.'
'Don't use that reverse psychology on me.
What do you think I am?
Stupid?'
'How many times,
Can a dying horse be revived?'
'Okay.
Okay.
So I was never good at math!'
'The World is in trouble.'
'Huh?
So...
I guess you are a mathematician?'
'God?
Dear Father in the Heavens above.
Please deliver another test to us.
This one has to be,
YOUR way of showing...
YOU can be serious and humorous.
And some just don't get,
Who or what it is YOU truly represent!'
