Analysis of Legislating Evolution
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Fast moving is the pace,
Of changes to make.
With no escaping away from them.
Even though attempts are made,
To legislate evolution.
And the facts that truth,
Can be easily replaced...
By a deluding to have power,
Over God's creation.
With a doing to convince those unconscious,
That this massive endless Universe...
Is a man-made entity!
Done with a faking of a fiction,
That discourages reality as is to live it.
For the fear of losing,
A pretentiousness celebrated to imitate!
And symbols to idolize them worshipped.
Along with a declining value,
To keep hypocrisy as a benefit...
Of beliefs growing meaningless to follow.
Especially when a way of life and its quality,
Has been diminished by a corrupted praise!
