Analysis of Removing The Core
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Removing the core,
That has soured more poor judgement.
Resulting in the reason and cause,
An outside to have had a deliciousness...
In appearance.
Much too tempting to dismiss and ignore,
The inside to perceive...
Could be nothing more,
Than rumors told heard to hear.
Intentionally to spread.
With a doing to deceive truth and its reality.
First it was the nibble.
Passed around to have it tasted.
Done to wax and shined to gleam.
Then a bite taken deep to chew on.
Bitter and awful.
Too difficult to digest.
Or confess what had been expected,
No one even to pretend...
Could with consciousness accept the mess.
But left they were to chew and sit.
And make believe they enjoyed every bit of it!
Since they endorsed and supported,
An appearance outside.
Not to know the inside to the core,
Would begin to make them all sick of it.
Although stayed to sit and it to claim,
Changes needed done they will do.
However...
The doing of it with promises to improve.
Not the appearance of a deliciousness.
No!
That to do had not been on their agenda.
Done to do as quick as possible.
No!
It was the taste they agreed,
They should concentrate upon.
That could erase and forever eliminate,
Further investigation.
As to who or whomever it was,
Convinced them all to stay and pretend...
What they chewed, and attempted to digest.
If successfully sold to swallow.
Many would follow.
Leaving them sick and addicted,
To a smell with a wanting more.
Regardless of what they ate to re-create.
Had been known to be rotten to the core!
And...
Gone from them too,
Had been a once valued truth.
With a delusion to live and fiction more of it.
Remained for them a reality to normalize.
Until everyone approved,
The benefits of keeping their mental illnesses!
'This effect is booming,
With unexpected success!'
'WHO IS IT,
THAT KEEPS SAYING THIS?
SPREADING THIS NONSENSE.'
'No one will admit it.
But...
I bet,
And it's only a guess.
It's the one who said from the very beginning,
He alone can fix the mess he started!'
'And...
That was believed to accept?'
'WAS?
It is still believed and by many.
To accept nothing less but more of it to get!'
'What in this World is going on?'
'Lies told to observe and witness,
Being deceived to accept and expect.
Like being addicted to a drug.
And refusing to deny the effects of it!'
