Wicked Wishes Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Wicked Wishes



Liars lie on others to choose,
Lies to tell as if fun to do.
With a truth perceived.
To be easily deceived.
But haunted they become.
And taunted by their demons.
Demons who do not leave,
Those alone with wicked wishes.
Wicked wishes to condone,
Without exposing liars to have them shown.
Since true demons expect,
All their wicked wishes to be represented.
And not hidden to make attempts,
To deny, deceive or pretend innocence...
Pretentiously.

'We did what we did because...
Well,
Because our dependency on ignorance...
Has left us to believe,
We will always be victims.
Victims historically.
And therefore we want others to be reminded,
They should not forget...
From where they came to stay remembered.'

~With a self-loathing that should be shared.~

'Exactly.'

~And with a doing of this you seek justice and freedom? ~

'Exactly.'

~From whom or what do you wish this?
When you claim in protest,
A wanting to get equality.
And from 'whose' mindset,
Will these kept delusions end? ~
