Poisoned And With Intention Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Heightened and enforced surpervised surveillance,
Has yet to prove the decrease of threats protects.
Nor is one's keeping of peace increased.
Corruption and crime has not been prevented.
And those historically monitored and watched,
Have always been stopped by cops who provoke...
With a racial profiling invoked to stroke colored folks.

Character assassinations to defame with false claims,
Has always been a technique gossipers keep...
To discredit those of good deeds to diminish their abilities.

Liars have always influenced those who listen.
With belief their whispers in ears on the streets,
Evaporates in thin air...
Without having their phone calls tapped,
To be taped by someone they perceive is not there.

Heightened and enforced surpervised surveillance,
Has yet to prove the decrease of threats protects.
People could care less and reflect the sign of the times.
And regardless of who's sentiments,
Are tapped to tape to uncover what is being mentioned...
A mindset has been poisoned and with intention,
To impose a control with a slowing to eliminate entitlements.
