Analysis of Allowing To Obey The Following
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Allowing to obey the following,
Of a rhetoric becoming habitually addictive.
With a mental fixation,
Even psychologists could not predict.
Is...
Not a healthy outlook,
To prepare for a future.
Awaiting with anticipation,
And enticing inviting participation.
This phenomenon going on,
Leaving many and not all...
Too long in a prolonged,
State of hopeful positivity,
Without curious and applied intervention?
Is a depiction of a culture lost.
In a wilderness,
Ignorance and a lack to use common sense.
Has created.
Is an expensive cost to waste,
Despising a truth.
The many in fear of reality have produced.
Done to do and allow the following,
Of fools!
Corrupted with unrealistic ideals.
Real.
Are the fools sitting seated in high places.
Making incompetent decisions.
With a power grabbing to obtain publicly.
Exposing to express...
Of a doing things their way to neglect next,
Their dependency on other human beings.
Who anointed these mindless creatures.
Absent of integrity.
Yet made to believe...
That which has been accomplished,
And throughout history achieved...
Had been done while they glorified to idolize,
Images of themselves reflected in mirrors?
And that was it as they sat to envision,
The harvesting of their wants and wishes...
Picked from fiction to materialize,
A quality of life from thrones to dictate them...
To busy buzzing wannabees.
Awaiting to be assigned the authority to tell,
Those of ethnic diversity...
What it is they are or are not,
Qualified to do to get done to at least...
Be acceptable enough to pass as mediocrity!
Who...
Has had the ability to convince dim wits,
They could rule and also have power...
To destroy The United States of America.
Then become so proud to applaud and cheer,
Embarrassing themselves!?
While being crushed under a bus.
In the process of performing,
This kind of devoted loyalty.
Who is that dim to be that dumb!
No. It's okay. A response from you,
Today is not necessary.
I'm not really asking a question.
By now the answer is too obvious.
