Eyes Left Kept Opened Wide
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Eyes remaining left kept opened wide,
Seldom are limited and fixed...
With a focusing upon B.S. and its nonsense.
Eyes that don't lie and opened wide,
Refuse to rely on allegations made.
Or gossip heard whispering innuendos.
Escalated purposely,
To create needless conflict.
Seen to observe and witness,
The pointlessness of it.
Eyes staying opened wide,
Can always identify...
Culprits for who they are.
In public or behind the scenes.
Preparing to undermine with their misdeeds.
To have others unconscious,
Although are made to accept and believe...
Those who speak truth.
With no mission to deceive.
Are the very ones threatening a way of life.
And not the peace wishers they pretend to be.
But...
Determined they are,
To remove, censor and eventually destroy...
Free speech and entitlements given.
For all who seek,
Normalizing their insanity.
With a doing as they please...
In ways to further spread their craze!
And for those with eyes kept opened wide.
Without limited visions,
Focused upon conflicts and divisions.
Still remain hopeful that one day,
The time will come when reality becomes...
Not a threat nor an enemy,
To the ones choosing to accept...
Truth to fear chases progress away.
Created and made in darkness.
Without light to shine on vacant minds!
