Analysis of Analysis and The Ridiculousness Of It
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Who benefits from the doing,
To be thought intelligent enough.
And, with common sense to use as if,
This approach would make...
The obvious ridiculousness to analyze it,
Changes a difference made...
To recognize a normalizing a way of life.
Few today could identify,
With something else to compare.
And all they know to defend.
Done to thoughtlessly participate,
In the celebrating of madness.
That has become too addicting to leave.
Without at least a stick or stone to throw.
