Analysis of Tired Of Being Tired
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It's getting close,
From bottom to the top to stop...
Told lies.
Denied.
So close,
It's getting from the bottom to top,
The truth.
As it is.
From where it was.
Duped to reduce.
People have grown tired to be used as fools.
And picked,
As tools to abuse.
People have grown and sick of it.
Being tricked.
By those who are slick.
People are beginning,
To realize...
Their quality of life,
Has become disguised.
People have begun today to open their eyes.
And believe,
What they see.
Without deceivers,
Fiction reality.
People have begun today to open their eyes.
Done more to trust.
What they see.
To be the truth as is.
As real can be.
People are beginning for themselves to know,
Nothing worth is losing,
What they value to let go.
By those,
Who trick.
Then to believe,
They'll get away with it.
Nothing worth to value and kept as known...
Once it has been stolen,
Gone it is to be shown.
Tired of being tired.
Does not return benefits of it.
Being tired.
People have begun to stop and quit.
Being tired.
Of allowing themselves to be tricked.
