Analysis of Petty Fed

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Better kept petty fed.
And easily distracted.
Detached from minds.
As if to have severed heads.

Casualties demoralized,
By nonsense to value.
And worthless false beliefs.
With a doing to continue,
To victimize themselves.
Using free speech to disease,
Their own limited mentalities.

Making a plucking of once conscious minds,
Made even easier to pull off...
A lost and rotting lifeline.
Gone.
And unaware,
Of their distractions to value...
Has had their endorsing support.
To destroy a quality of life tossed away.
Just to keep themselves remaining petty fed!
