Analysis of One Qualifying Factor
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The time has arrived.
Without shock or surprise.
To witness it done.
Once to be labeled,
Weird and called different.
Is no longer feared to live as a challenge.
But has become a supported campaign.
Done and endorsed by mostly everyone.
What had been considered insane,
Out of the ordinary and strange.
Can get someone,
Known to be completely crazed.
Selected to be the perfect one.
As a leader of a nation.
Who has the right mental ability,
To represent every dysfunction there is.
With proven evidence of being,
Mentally unstable.
As a factor and must,
To sit in that position.
And loved by the people.
Long to have been detached from reality!
Or whatever it is,
That has them addicted to fiction truth!
And these are the days
Of our preference to live in a daze lives!
Choosing to stay medicated.
