Going Down Breathless
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Hypnotized.
Unconsciously blinded.
And with poisoned minds,
Taken.
To undermine no longer to find,
The use of common sense.
Stripped away and made convinced,
Themselves connected...
To one who tricks and selected them to pick,
As disciples of a hiddened wickedness.
Going down.
Far and below a darkened underground.
Heated to perform a surfaced devastation.
Supported and allowed to escalate.
By one who is the master,
Of fraud, deception and creating fools.
And baited they become willing martyrs.
Sacrificing themselves to destroy,
Along with their reputation...
Credibility.
And lives of others.
To remain and stay loyal to lies told.
Going down they all go.
Far and below,
Beyond the underground.
Exchanging their souls.
As they follow to allow,
Holes drilled into their hearts.
Hypnotized, blinded and unconscious of it,
A pledging of a loyalty like this...
Can leave them permanently breathless.
Regardless,
Of confessions to make...
After awakening to claim mistakes made.
In the hope to return to lives lived,
Sacrificed and burned to allow it done!
Especially when they knew it known,
Someone in need...
To have their loyalty pledged and shown.
Began from a darkened place.
With a wish to strip their consciousness,
Away from them to replace with that...
Of a childish deluded mind.
Having a need to destroy humanity.
Could money, status and power to have it.
Be the cause and reason,
People will allow their minds and souls...
Become sold even though they know,
There is a Hell below!
Not to be judged but convict.
