Reborn
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Why should it take,
One caught committing...
Repeated wrongs.
To expect a receiving a forgiveness.
With a doing of this given to insist,
This is what 'Christians' do.
When someone depicted,
As being re-born.
After time so long spent,
Seeking acceptance.
From those who trick, lie and deceive.
Knowing what they've done to do,
Is to receive benefits and a way of life.
Having the public believe,
They were innocent and betrayed,
By thieves, crooks playing a game played.
That would successfully keep,
People hoodwinked and duped.
But today confess,
Of having their integrity and identity...
Messed up and destroyed.
As if,
A child unconscious and blinded...
Yet...
Led by the hand by fat cats,
Shown to avoid...
Hidden traps.
That were placed to catch rats.
Wishing to find cheese to eat.
While disguising themselves,
As defenders of truth and democracy!
