Messages Left Around The World
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
On a frantic prowl God is these days.
Assisted by Mother Nature.
With signs left around the World.
Warning inhabitants on Earth,
How fragile their thoughtlessness invited...
Has become to ignite,
Conflict, division and pointless racism.
To incite.
Taking for granted this blessing of life,
Given to live it...
Belongs to every creature God has created.
To share and not replace,
With man-made created hatred.
To accept and respect,
The differences in appearance God reflects.
But no!
The pain of such truth,
In heads of those unconsciously mindless...
Continues to bestow,
A spreading growth of ignorance.
Avoiding common sense whenever possible.
Done refusing to believe,
God exists as just a myth.
Although conflicts to inflict upon themselves,
Is God's wish...
To have them imitate the power God has.
Yet...
Their pretensions continue to leave,
Deceivers, naysayers.
And their recruited troublemakers.
Incapable to explain,
Why it is their desire to have power over all.
Leaves them left to look,
Increasingly more ridiculous.
With minds sickened,
By their own wickedness.
And destroyers of a quality of life.
Claimed to be ruined by a diversity created,
They can not appreciate the color of it.
Because its appearance is much too colorful.
And not highlighting that which is white!
Or at least...
Giving that which is white,
The right to believe...
They have been chosen.
And not a part of God's creativity!
This can only be,
An apparent sickness of mentality!
