Analysis of Dismantled
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
So many duped and quick.
To rid and dismantle truth,
Permanently from their minds.
As if,
A showing to have used common sense,
In days like these...
Perceived to be an embarrassment.
And pledged they have to honor,
Thoughtlessness.
A gift from birth they were blessed with.
Remarkable.
What can be staged then made convinced.
To an unconscious mind,
Purposely left hypnotically distracted.
How can anyone today still think,
They can afford to leave truth left ignored?
Or that a door told to leave open,
In the midst of a Winter blizzard...
Will lower their heating bill?
Once upon a time and not too long ago,
A comment made like this...
Would offend those using common sense.
Today?
More are surviving on lies to defend them.
Fictioning to delude whatever to them told.
And sold to see on their home addicting TVs.
Believing the very ones,
Grinning in their faces.
While selling them lies turning their lives,
Into a living Hell and doing it well.
With a giving of support endorsing it done.
Yet...
No life to live can exist like this,
Regardless who may believe...
The quality of it is being threatened.
Threatened by the ones observing to witness,
Sickened mentalities...
Self inflicting themselves defending it done.
In their attempt to have everyone,
Accept, approve and made to believe...
Their ability to create and make themselves,
Portrayed as victims...
Is innovative.
And never done before!
Remarkable.
What can be staged and made convinced.
To an unconscious mind,
Purposely left hypnotically distracted.
Used and abused.
Factless and detached!
Lacking self awareness.
And what it had meant to have kept valued.
