Analysis of Let Us Sit And Imagine

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Let us sit and imagine.
With our minds stretched beyond boundaries.
That someone could actually,
Have a love to deceive, fraud and plead...
Of creating a havoc.
Then declare to be innocent.
And this believed.

Let us sit and imagine,
This activity had been known to condone.
With a doing of it supported.
And endorsed to make shown.
To defend and protect.
Regardless of the proof and evidence,
More than enough.
Not to refuse or reject.

Now...
As we sit and imagine,
This today is an occurrence to us all...
Happening and yet kept disbelieved to deny.
What is it that the people,
Who refuse to accept...
They have been hoodwinked,
Tricked and duped do?
Hypothetically!

'If the tricking to dupe purposely to hoodwink,
Had been kept secretly concealed.
Without boasting about the reality of it.
And this...
Few would admit they could sit and imagine,
Something so crazed...
People would allow themselves to follow.
Then accept to defend,
The result that ends...
Them exposed as willing accomplices.
Hypothetically speaking.
Since this to imagine it,
Would stop many in their tracks...
The first time they imagine to see,
Neon signs flashing...
'COMEON! HONESTLY?
CAN YOU IMAGINE YOURSELF,
BEING SO STUPID!?'

That for anyone to imagine,
Should be their personal wake upcall.

'That's what I'm saying.
Can we now sit and imagine something else?'

Sure.
Like what?

'Like...
Well,
Like...
Having a way of life to live,
Without deceivers lieing to fraud...
Everything they do.
And we choose to allow and this to accept it.'

Uh...
How about the rest of you?
Any other suggestions?
