The Veils Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The death of long lasting ignorance,
Has produced an increase od demons...
With razor sharp teeth and claws to clinch,
A squeezing done with a menacing sought...
To get those of intelligence to surrender,
And succumb...
To a teasing of temptating wickedness,
That will affix them to addictions...
They will never overcome.

The death of long lasting ignorance,
Seeks to find devoted representatives...
Eager to permit a continuance of conflicts,
Useless and senseless...
Although perceived to bring to them benefit.

The death of long lasting ignorance,
Keeps those afraid to stand tall and brave.
Especially the ones,
Severed from identities thought and taught.
With beliefs their existence has no significance.

The death of long lasting ignorance,
Comes.
To remove the veils,
Thick to cover eyes either clouded or closed...
With an opening of minds to propose to many,
They need not accept the feeding of deceptions.
Or follow beliefs to appease any 'deity'...
With wishes to see them on bended knees.
Restricted to limits in a worshipped loyalty.
