Analysis of More Clearer Than Before
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Are more clearer than before,
After chosing to deny and ignore...
Truth of reality to face.
Is always in the first place.
To accept and embrace it.
Without seeking to find,
Denial to live...
Has for those nowhere to escape.
Are more becoming,
Aware of facts.
Realizing fiction to live,
Leads from one trap to another.
With walls upon them closing in.
To feel their pretentious decisions made,
Has faded away their actions to invite...
A darkness that has begun to begin,
The loss of appetite to charade...
Keeping up with appearances.
Gone nolonger there.
As more are discovering clearer than before,
An enlightenment of consciousness...
Leaves them less patient to tolerate,
Those dimming to fade,
Slowly away.
Choosing to stay,
Masquerading.
In the hope,
Their false disguises will be recognized.
And the value of their lives lived to lie,
Will be saved to replay again to treasure...
The pleasure of self deception.
