Practiced Nasty Tactics
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Ongoing,
Practiced lowlife nasty tactics.
Scrapped from the bowels,
Of gutters to use...
As a defense that threatens,
A non-existent innocence.
Has begun to uncover the smell,
That is known too well...
The origin from where,
This demented creation comes.
Yet not everyone agrees,
Their way of life...
To be perceived as heros, warriors.
Conquerors, champions and winners.
Over enemies.
And their fears that begin to threaten,
A comforting way of life.
Told and sold,
On weapons to buy.
With a doing to protect themselves.
Leaving them to practice and rehearse,
Their nasty tactics...
First on each other.
To eventually declare and proclaim,
An innocence.
Understood to understand,
And comprehend...
By a judge, Jury and media controlled,
They have grown to know as peers!
Teachers of their lessons taught to sell.
And bought to buy.
To disguise who they are to pretend,
Of having no idea...
Who initiates their fears and threats.
Although...
They do know where to go to purchase,
Every weapon hidden to conceal...
A practiced and rehearsed,
Familiar nasty tactics to use...
By those who teach them evil skills!
