Analysis of Crooked Crab Cookers
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Hmmm...
The one thing becoming too obvious.
Yet, incredibly, remains to go ignored.
Are the growing steps taken to prevent,
Advancements made...
By those of mixed races,
In decision making places.
And representing proudly,
Their ethnic diversity.
However...
Pretentiously perfected,
is the accepted window dressing of it.
That attempts even the stopping,
Of the ones unconscious becoming affected.
Although...
Too blind to notice themselves also stunted,
By their overwhelming list...
To be viewed as superior,
Rulers of the power grab...
With this image loyal and followed.
Going nowhere fast.
From the bottom of a barrel.
Assigned to watch.
As if a bunch of anointed crabs.
Appointed to look down and ensure,
No other crab without permission passes.
Hmmm...
And yet,
The one thing becoming much too obvious...
Are the many with hopes to assist everyone,
To be lifted up.
From the bottom to leave it behind.
Knowing from it around them showing,
That any confinement to ignorance...
Purposely self inflicted.
As a means for attention to get?
Is...
Unhealthy.
Mentally and physically.
As well as life threatening.
But...
Can not convince those made to believe,
The only thing they have been chosen for...
Is their loyalty alleged and pledge to prove,
They are willing to sacrifice their lives...
To awaiting profit making crab cookers.
Crab cookers seeking,
Their wants and wishes fulfilled with ease.
Without unnecessary explanations.
You know...
Buttered to please,
The unneeded mystery of analogies.
Or a rush from the bottom to the top,
By those who have chosen,
Their lives to live...
Strictly on an enlightenment diet!
While preferring their restrictions,
Sugar free.
And unescorted by trained dupe doers!
Convinced their ignorance,
Allows them...
An expense free entrance into the future.
