This Crime Committed
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Although the effectiveness,
Of this crime committed.
Since time began.
And documented laws,
Have been created.
To instill discipline and obedience...
As a reminder to abide by the rules.
Understood to understand.
And...
Done to follow them.
It has been 'Stupidity!
Blatant and openly admitted.
Allowed.
Excused and forgiven.
Without lawyers, judge nor jury.
With this effectiveness,
Against humanity.
Committed to go on.
Ignored on a daily basis.
Legally.
Yet...
Witnessed stupidity is,
To initiate the instigating...
Of conflicts.
Escalating deception, division...
And acts of displayed racism.
Sold to people who seem to enjoy,
Being out of their minds.
Too stupid to realize,
This crime to commit...
Has destroyed their quality of life!
