To Pick And Victimize

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



To pick and victimize,
Anyone unknown to have lived...
An experienced past.
Not to respect or expect to have had.
Is a doing done by the ones who perceive,
The picking they heard through rumors...
Continued to do.
Should be dismissed.
Before an evilness recommended,
Inflicted upon someone like this...
Reveals another side shown.
Too late to escape,
What awaits to awaken.
That comes to personalize,
A feeling felt gone to no longer hide...
Who it is becoming victimized.
In ways not to realize,
From where such evilness...
Could possibly affect their lives.
Not to suspect the effectiveness of it,
Arriving at their door to invite.
Inside their zone of comfort known.
Returning back.
Something familiar to them shown.
Yet...
Can not get rid of whatever it is.
They can not explain to condone.
Or who or what it was,
Welcomed into their home.
To accept and sign as delivered.
By someone experienced to disguise,
Gone to not recognize...
A deceiving to leave left unidentified!
