Analysis of Tremendous Hoax
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The discovery of what appears,
May not be the last...
Of their most greatest to update,
Mind blowing although tremendous hoax.
Entertaining.
Breath taking.
Yet still remaining defended.
And unbelievable to comprehend,
To those conscious enough.
Trying to understand,
How this mindset started and where it began.
Too many have been drugged or hypnotized,
Into an addicting fiction.
As if vaccinated and unable to retrieve,
Common sense.
Or a thinking process.
That has left them fighting,
Against being aware...
Of once knowing the difference,
Between hallucinating.
And having full consciousness.
That fear to face,
Seems for many an invitation to embrace.
Quick and fast before the effect passes.
It doesn't matter these days,
What reality and truth is to produce anymore.
Even if their fairytale were stripped away.
Barenaked in front of their eyes.
Exposing a clown.
Masquerading in disguise to reveal a joker.
Claiming to have the expertise,
Of a magician.
Waving a wand over a tophat.
To observe and witness,
A rat massaging the back of a chicken.
Quaking to then strut around like a duck.
Leaving the people left to believe,
And cheering enthusiastically.
When told to see what they have witnessed,
Can only be a sign of good luck to trust.
Regardless and no matter what,
If they had been deceived.
And their minds permanently messed up.
Since facts as they are to see them to be,
Is God's way to test their faith and loyalty!
'Why are you applauding to cheer?
And screaming as if you have lost your mind?
Do you know what time it is?'
'Time?
I don't wear a watch.
But I do know this,
Whatever the time may be these days...
It is all about the craze.
And the rage to stay outraged,
For no reason at all.
With the hope our deluded lives,
Will someday be normalized.'
'This...
Is madness!
What's going on is sick!'
'And...
Noticing it is a good thing.
It can't get any better than this!
God works in mysterious ways.
And thrilled we all are to live and witness,
The benefits of awaiting...
For our blessings to be delivered to us,
So mysteriously.
Who knew it would be this way?
Hip hip hooray.
Hip hip hooray!
Who knew we would live to see these days!
Come cheer with us.'
