Analysis of Immature
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Immature.
And left mentally limited.
Behind fast advancing,
Forward moving times.
No longer is it sad to see,
A decadent society...
Lost.
Blinded,
By fiction.
And pretense,
Of wholesome purity.
No.
No longer is it sad to see
A corrupted frauding humanity.
Flaunting their criminal activities.
Open and being done publicly.
By high profiled deceiving thieves.
Sitting in positions of authority.
Juvenile, immature and crooked.
Leaving all of us to pay the cost.
Juvenile, immature and crooked.
Few today obey any laws.
No.
No longer is it sad to see.
To believe.
No.
No longer is it sad to see,
A democracy.
Mocked.
And knocked about.
From the bottom to the top nonstop.
Ushered to the curb and dumped.
A democracy.
Mocked.
And ushered to the curb,
In any gutter to dump.
A democracy.
Knocked.
From the top to the bottom nonstop!
By immature,
Childish lieing thieves!
Crooked.
And taught as children this is how to be,
To achieve.
Successfully.
Crooked.
And taught as children this is life to live,
Successfully.
Crooked!
The law of land.
Crooked.
All.
Crooked.
The law of land.
Crooked.
All.
Crooked.
The law of the land!
