Analysis of Interpretations
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Who knows what goes on,
In the minds of so many.
Restricted to limit their visions to fiction.
And defend beliefs without truth to mention.
Or the development of them,
Taken from an array of biblical depictions.
Each different of who did what it was,
Created One God residing above.
Unseen to worship in prayer to praise.
And yet,
Separated are multiple religions.
With their own interpretations.
Followed by those faithfully devoted.
Idolizing images.
Representing faces,
From various ethnic races and places.
All...
Worshipping in prayer to praise.
All...
With bowed heads in pews or on knees.
Although...
No one has declared to have seen personally,
The Who or what took Him, Her or It.
Seven human days to create this place...
Called Earth.
Leaving no one to disagree.
And with aware consciousness to see.
Hopefully.
However...
It still goes disbelieved,
That a man-made mess can destroy in hours.
In less time to do it.
Than seven days to prove...
Whatever whose belief claims God has done.
By It, Her or Himself alone to create!
Gone to eliminate,
Any knowning to be shown...
An appreciation to be blessed.
In the minds of those,
Restricted to limit their visions to fiction!
