Analysis of Desperate For Restrictions
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The power of this eclipse.
Recently witness by millions.
Not to miss its significance.
With changes of the climate.
And the shaking of the Earth,
Quaking to awaken...
Many deluded to fiction,
A consciousness.
Limited to fantasies.
Man-made to create alternate realities.
About who rules and controls over,
The minds of humanity.
Seeking desperately for restrictions.
To have believe and accept.
Well...
There is no greater power,
Than a Universe rearranging...
What has been done in the past.
Within a blink of an eye,
To find life blessed to have it...
As is to exist,
Become quick to feel a difference made.
After an eclipse to observe it witnessed...
Does what it does to remove,
Fools in positions...
Inflicted with self serving righteousness.
Replaced by the truth.
That power lies in the eyes of those,
Knowing...
There is a God.
Too massive to dismiss.
Or can be fooled or tricked by idiots.
Believing themselves,
Deities pick to represent Thee Almighty!
While sitting on a speck of dust.
Looking up thousands of miles away.
At something that takes their breath away.
And can.
Permanently if wanted to wish it done!
Naturally without debate.
