Analysis of Power Given To A Menace

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Giving attention and the power of it,
To a menace receiving this...
As if breath to breathe to agitate more.
A doing abhoring to disgust,
Those appalled to irritating heated places.
By misdeeds.
Done to await for them over and over,
With no end.
Continues to not disappoint,
Neither the ones to claim being annoyed.
Nor the others,
Seen rushing to the scene of aggrevation.
As if entertained and addicted,
By a menace too captivating to ignore!

Power given to a menace,
Not to diminish it.
Only gives the menace more.
