Innoculating Sense
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Innoculating sense.
In a new World changing.
Demanding and requiring of it.
Has already begun,
To dawn upon a darkened horizon!
Gone nolonger to take for granted,
Is a normalcy replaced.
Everyday being chipped away.
As the status quo has slowly faded.
And eliminated from deluded minds,
Are those times gone to have aged.
And...
Unable to face truth and its reality.
Stay the ones stubbornly with beliefs,
Their memories of the past to keep...
Can remain to never leave.
If they remain to inflict fear and threats.
Upon those enlightened.
With a higher consciousness.
A higher consciousness,
To make steps forward without regrets.
Knowing what's ahead for them,
Has no tolerance for ignorance.
Or no one defending a past that is dead.
'We will stop this progressive movement,
With a display of our powerful weapons...
We are prepared to use!'
'Oh...
Continue they do,
To value such devoted stupidity.'
'The proof is in its evidence applied.'
So right you are.
Uh...
Where was I?
Oh yes.
What is here and has been made clear,
Are changes to appear.
And those limited to fiction,
A power to obtain done to inflict...
Restrictions and division.
Only victimize themselves.
In the hope and demented wishes...
Their pretensions to charade,
Stay impressive enough...
To address their own fears.
And a tomorrow already here,
That keeps them afraid...
Their delusions kept have begun to fade!
More powerful to witness,
Are the changes God makes.
Upon this Earth.
To implement and dictate!
