Analysis of Promiscuity
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Okay!
I understand.
I'm cool with it.
If you are not into discussing,
World events, politics or politicians.
Crime, corruption, fraud, deception.
Race relationships, division and conflicts.
Family arguments.
Social media and the affects it has,
On today's children.
And what it has done to their minds.
To destroy just about everyone's...
Mentalities and consciousness.
Not to mention the connection,
All of this has to hypocrisy.
Well...
Let's talk about,
Promiscuity.
And what this has done to humanity.
'I rather not.'
'You see...
I live in a 'Christian' community.
And all that talk about decadence.
Cheating and lieing to one another?
Is something we don't allow or condone.
Especially publicly for it to be seen.
We remain faithful to our beliefs.'
'When in public?'
'Did you not hear me say,
We are Christians?'
'That's right.
I did hear you say that!'
'And what we do to do it,
Is done at the best of our abilities!
With a doing of it appropriately.'
'There is nothing more I can say.
