Analysis of Wonderful To Have
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It would be wonderful to have,
Everyone with the same answers.
To questions to ourselves,
We all seem to ask.
Why is this the cause of that?
And who started what,
To have a 'what' go on to last.
With a doing of it fast.
Hoping the end of it,
Is kept to forget and left in the past.
It would be wonderful and great to have,
Peace believed and felt it achieved.
Without having to be questioned,
About a quality of life...
To wish it wanted.
As if a fabled to be told.
Like most fantasies to fiction them.
Instead of those fantasies created.
Remaining in our lives to imitate.
Then to live for years to discover,
More loved become...
Those fantasies kept,
In our minds deluded sickened by fiction.
Has begun to be the truth of our reality.
Dysfunctioned to normalize,
Lies told to deceive.
Yet seek we do to hate the truth.
As if truth to live it,
Is the enemy!
An enemy observed threatening purposely!
'I...uh...
Have a question.
No one seems to have yet to ask.
What has made the people,
Act as if...
They would rather be left crazed these days?'
'It is easier.
Permitted to excuse.
With a doing of it to accuse it all,
On the presence of diversity.
And racial replacement theories.
'Oh.
I thought people were becoming stressed,
By the high price it pays to stay...
Aware and conscious,
Of facing the truth of a kept hidden reality.'
'That makes no sense at all.'
'Tell me about it.
And I have done my very best,
Not to get attracted or involved.
To the selling to buy,
A B.S. I don't need.
However...
I can not say the doing of it has been easy.
It's becoming harder to refuse the smell of it.
Since everyday 24/7 I am being reminded,
Of what is 'IN' and 'OUT' of style
