Sustained Blasphemy Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Has the need of correctness,
Passed its effectiveness.
Have those subjected to mistreatment and disrespect,
Given up to expect less but more of it to get.
Then all of us should express regret.
For letting what had been valued to now reflect,
The worse impression of our best selves.
With it done and allowed.
To follow those who have no regard,
For a God to have them heard to claim...
Their devotion and faith remains maintained.
When it seems what is maintained,
Is a sustained blasphemy.
That is religiously and with consciousness demonic.
