Analysis of Rogue
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Someone who is a rogue.
Corrupted and thuggish.
Treasonous, deceiving.
Betrays followers.
Who have been loyal to his activities.
With a welcoming of anything,
Done he does to do.
And...
No matter what proof of evidence used,
Revealing this rogue may know...
The difference between lieing and truth.
Still he is assumed to be innocent.
Since this treasonous thug proclaims,
Of being victimized because...
He has obtained fame and a name,
Built upon integrity, discipline...
And a desire to achieve,
Opportunities for those disenfranchised.
By providing them the incentive,
Which would enrichen them with motivation.
As to how to succeed if they kept belief,
In no one else but themselves.
As he has done to receive abundance.
Without the need for attention get.
Or soliciting from anyone,
Funds to promote his efforts to endeavor.
To then say,
It took sacrifice, blood sweat and tears.
And working day and night for years.
Until his hands became to develop callous.
Yet...
Holding malice, revenge and hatred,
Towards anyone.
Is the furthest thing in his forgiving mind.
'We love you!' Applaud and cheer the people.
'We are the ones you can rely upon,
To defend your innocence!'
And they believe,
What this rogue says with a praying.
On their knees.
That God will cure and heal,
His crooked...
Treasonous, betraying deceiving ways.
Since he is the only one misunderstood,
For being a good guy inside.
But outside he being victimized.
Because of the quality of life to have earned.
But...
Unable to explain his inability to express,
The feelings he has for all who are blessed...
And fortunate enough,
To keep that fortune to themselves.
Without one hint of guilt shown to show it!
'I hope everyone begins to know,
What they are doing to him?
They will do to us too!'
'Before or after our acting lessons!?'
'There you go.
Prosecuting him like everyone else has.
Just because his performance happens to be,
Lacking in substance.
Although...
No one can say he is not,
A brilliant scene stealer.
Talented with wholesome credibility!
