Accompanied By Thoughtlessness

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Evilness to feel exists.
Without aware consciousness.
Limited lived to inflict wickedness,
Upon the innocent picked.
To believe such doing to others.
Has benefits to come done.
Accompanied by thoughtlessness.
Achieves to receive,
Attention and notoriety to ultimately get.
Will deliver the arrival,
Of overdue consequences.
Made immediately without delay to pay.
Regardless of what those who inflict evil.
Intended on others and meant to do.
Done to observe and witness,
Liars who deceive and expect to be freed.
From a doing unto others.
To do and believe,
A giving to forgive.
Their tears and expressed sorrow.
Claiming of having,
Regrets they did not expect to accept.
Coming from no one else to blame.
Although tried their best.
In public to address,
Their delivery of a performance.
Worthy of an Oscar nomination.
Or at least a standing ovation.
Heard before a cheering audience,
Told by a judge.
No other opinion will be allowed.
In his or her courtroom.
Is deserved by a felon.
Convicted of fraud.
Corruption and a love to commit treason!
No matter who applauds,
Outlaws, criminals, rule breakers...
Thieves who they are to disbelieve
And a wish to see what is on their TVs.
Result to appease a doing to come,
Happily with an ending done!

    I’m still lmao on your “On zHorses With Torch’s Lit” Isn’t that the title you gave it???I remember my dad used to tell us stories of the white’s club with the posted sign “No Blacks Or Mexicans Allowed”…On land in The RGV in Texas that was part of The Cavazos Land Grant that the newly founded Texans stated they’d honor…As if they honored it…Go figure…roflmao

    I wonder IF GUU and the others remember watching images of nuclear explosions and other plagues on their screens…When I saw GUU it was as if he and the others were hypnotized…I wonder IF anyone else remembers The Powers That Be cover story of the rainbow looking craft being an advertisement for Bonapartes Fried Chicken???I thought that story was hilarious…And to this day I swallowed it hook line and sinker…

      I’ve been to San Antonio quite a few times when we lived in Mission, TX…I think it’s pretty nice…Evert time I think of it the Ozzy Alamo incident pops into my head…I was even thinking about going there recently…Maybe if my plans I’m kicking around in my head come to fruition we may be able to meet one day…Only time will tell…

      I lived on Perrin Beital Road. Between 410 and 1604. The bigger loop surrounding San Antonio. Back in the 80s.

      I really haven’t a clue where that i Lawrence…I was a child back then and I only remember it was almost as fun as going to South Padre…It was a nice family outing…A change of pace…I even spent time in Wharton when my sister and her husband lived there…They took me to Houston several times…That too was back in the 70’s…I believe we returned to CA in 79 orc80…I remember that’s when I became a freshman in high school…
