Analysis of The Beginning Nearing Its End
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The beginning of massive ignorance,
Is nearing its end.
Too many living intentionally to deceive,
Have begun to notice...
Themselves facing,
Questioning eyes undebatebly...
Scrutinizing their activities.
With an awakening of common sense.
Seldom used as a protective defense.
Against thieves to perceive once believed,
To represent the interests.
Of their supporting to endorse constituents.
Now discovering delusion,
Covered by layers of sweetened fiction.
Had been rotten to the core.
While they applauded to eat up,
Every bit of the B.S. with expecting more.
'This is nothing, but...'
Tragic?
Or dramatically entertaining?
Which is your preference?
It is what it is to have been.
The only difference?
You objected to who it was telling you...
That,
Feeding on ignorance to dismiss what it is...
Has of yet produced to accomplish,
One leader you and others elected to office.
With proven evidence revealed, of course.
Yet none. Not even one,
Mentally equipped with thinking minds.
Validating competence.
Or detected grounded stability!
Yet...
Those who are obviously,
Ethnically diverse and judged qualified.
Are profiled and suspiciously denied.
For having abilities,
Many protesting their appearances...
Will never come close to having.
And THIS is the B.S.
Beginning to near the end of a stupidity,
Only seen to be overwhelmingly accepted...
In the minds of those seeking power.
At the benefit of their own self destruction.
Hoping one day,
To be honored for their heroic bravery.
'Geessshhh.
Lighten up.
It is what it is.
Right?'
Check this out.
If you had a dime,
For every mind you discovered off track.
Where would you be at, right now?
'Somewhere lounging around,
On an island beach.
Sipping on a cocktail thanking you,
For your contribution!'
'Give me a dime.
I am ready to begin collecting,
On this easy effort to endeavor.
As luck would have it,
My passport was sent to me last week.
And everyday I hear people say,
There is no God!'
