Analysis of From Many Centuries
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
From many centuries,
To live and witness...
Adjusting to adapt into a different,
Life form.
Establishing the fact,
There is something about...
The soul and mind moves on.
To become reborn.
Leaving behind,
That which had been physically defined.
Yet what remains to stay the way it is,
Are lessons not to learn.
Of those with souls and minds unable,
To move on to the next stage of life to live.
With a repeated return as if nothing learned,
About a past to have lived.
Determined to believe,
Conflicts to start and Ignorance to begin...
Division between themselves.
Over and over again.
Can for them,
Be interpreted as progress.
When destruction to self inflict it.
Only produces the same results.
Yet...
Stay they do determined to believe,
Over and over again repeatedly...
That their lives to live,
Blessed by God to get...
Is as much of a myth.
As they have been picked,
To live their lives chosen to be...
Immortal human beings.
Even though the proof of this,
Has yet to be revealed.
Or survived their delusions to fiction.
From one century to another.
Although...
Their fantasies to depict,
A forever existence ruling to control...
The entire Universe for all eternity.
After they have successfully destroyed,
This World called Earth.
Left to go unappreciated.
With a doing to ruin their own existence.
While planning to inhabit,
Another place similar to Earth.
In an alternate Universe.
Somewhere to find in their minds.
An opportunity to leave behind,
A less expensive and cost effective stupidity!
With the hope that God,
Ignores the challenge!
If...
The rumors are true that God is real!
Regardless who practices what with faith,
Religiously!
Done to do to speculate.
