Analysis of Blatantly Displayed
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Blatantly displayed,
Is the game of injustice.
Played upon the people.
Who gave their patriotic lives,
To become victimized...
By the maggots, leeches.
And blood sucking,
Selfish ego driven thieves.
This activity blatantly displayed,
Is an observation on a daily basis to witness.
Done to mention by one watching,
The pretentiousness charaded.
As if the expectation of it,
Has been normalized to have by now...
Become realized as a fact of life.
Ignored and boring to those,
Who are more concerned...
With a competing to keep up appearances.
And impressions made to fake them.
Regardless...
If those impressions made to fake them,
Are beneficial or not to make.
