The Act Of Pillage
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The act of pillage.
To rob and take the resources of others.
In times of war.
Enforced by greed.
And endorse to support the stealing,
Of more.
With a claim to be innocently victimized.
By those wishing to live peacefully.
Attempting to defend and protect,
Themselves by any means necessary.
Yet...
A deceiving that spreads to depict them,
As enemies living on their own shores.
Leaves them defenseless against,
Thieves weaponized with fiction believed.
The ones being attacked.
While observed and witnessed publicly,
Determining as if a neccesity...
To create an acceptance of a democracy.
That continues to dismiss reality.
And a truth to delude,
What is being done to humanity.
Whether to call it pillage,
Gentrification or genocide.
This act is still,
A removal of ethnicity.
To enhance the feeding not of peace.
But a greeding that eventually ends.
Abruptly.
When The Almighty Creator decides,
Removing the nuts.
Diseasing to destruct what those elite,
Believe is theirs to take and eliminate.
Wherever to who or whom they choose!
