Smoke Screened Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

No one chokes anymore,
From being smoke screened.
It has become an expectation,
Accepted.
And a life that has become,
Overrun by those incompetent.
But chosen to sit in positions,
To undermine and demean.
With a purpose to manifest,
An agenda that promises...
A controlling over,
All left unconscious.
With an effective deception,
Many will accept.
As a vision that protects,
An autonomy ruled...
By a few elitists,
Using their best tools...
To trick and fool,
The blinded unable to see.
Or believe,
How low some will stoop...
To continue serving,
Their own greed to feed upon...
Kept to do selfishly.
Regardless of the depths,
Of their obvious evil misdeeds.

'What you do is wrong.
Evil.
And threatens to end humanity.'

-Some of us selected.
And picked to listen...
With a faked concern.
Are confused by your comments.
Tell us...
Which were statements?
And which one,
Should we consider...
To have been questions? '
