Analysis of Mental Health
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
We have come to live,
When more seem to be...
Normally conscious,
Of what they say and do to mean.
Without many giving it a second thought,
If what they heard to hear...
Either brought them to laughter.
Or...
Unstoppable serious tears.
We have come to live,
To observe and witness...
What had once been...
A normalcy of consciousness,
These days we live...
Becoming doubtfully debatable.
And not just by a few.
Stopping one another to wonder,
Who are the fools.
And in defense of mental health,
So difficult it has become...
To pass judgement on anyone.
However...
When in times like these to hear and see,
Clearly done to do publicly.
A babbling narcissistic idiot.
Beyond a moron to depict.
This to do only gives fools more respect.
Than one who has notoriety,
Status and questionable wealth.
Yet...
Can not buy sense to make.
Or a consciousness to validate.
Although followed by many who believe,
One who babbles as if crazed.
With a mind,
Light years away from reality.
Is not an idiot but a genius to be praised!
