Unacceptable Activities



Many can not accept,
The performance of their own activities.
That represents,
A reflection of a kept negative mentality.
To then become offended when seen,
Doing things to others to deny are mean.
Even videotaped repeatedly,
On wide TV screens.

There.
And appearing,
In the most desolate places on Earth.
People...
Deluded and smothered in denial.
With their thumbs held up high.
And smiling to display bright white teeth.
While pushing a wheelbarrow,
Full of bricks, sticks.
And cemented thick tree branches.
Stopping.
Will then turn their faces,
Directly into a news camera.
Declaring themselves to be,
Patriotic Christians.
Faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ!
As they point to symbols worn on necks.
Depicting the crucifixion of The Lord.
Shown to not miss in broad daylight.
As proven proof of a faith not to question.
To what and for who to impress,
A devotion.
Without the wasting of breath to express.

Wishing to want to have believed,
Hopefully.
The unacceptable activities of others...
Is the reason and cause,
Their attempts are done to prevent...
Violence, discrimination and division,
From destroying to end a way of life...
That reflects wholesome values to protect!
