Analysis of Entitled To Feel Privileged
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Many feeling entitled and privileged,
To credit the debts to a suffering economy.
Have yet understood the connection between,
Fiction to market and reality to believe.
Although...
Books to censor.
And racial conflict with division intended.
With a purpose to implement,
Hatred to ignite chaos day and night.
Over one's color of skin.
When obvious it is,
Competence and common sense...
Has no space occupying in minds dense.
However,
Permanently afflicted by decadence and lust...
For a power close to turning,
Life as known to know it...
Into a smothering dust.
And...
For what to prove?
An entitlement to feel privileged,
To leave another planet desolate to create...
A contamination that permeates,
Throughout the Universe.
To prove what money to have it can do?
For who?
Hasn't destruction and ruin,
Been repeatedly proven...
Over pettiness to conquer by fools to rule!
And...
For what does the doing of this accomplish?
And...
For who survives this to pledge,
Their loyal commitment and undying faith!
