Conflicts With Commandments Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

One can not escape,
From their indoctrinated associations.
Once conditioned and ingrained,
Images affixed...
Remain in the brain.

A goodness perceived and attempted,
To achieve...
Will conflict with commandments,
If created documents...
Consents entitlements and their amendments,
To supersede and deface...
All that is connected with humanity,
Empathy and what that means to believe.

One can not escape,
From their indoctrinated associations.
Once conditioned and ingrained,
Images affixed...
Remain in the brain.
To stay.
There is no elimination.
Regardless how much one prays.

One has to be brave enough,
To sever...
That which feeds upon fear!
