Analysis of Seldom Coincidental
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Failure repeatedly achieved successfully?
Seldom is coincidental.
And has its intent meant.
Strategically to popularize the act of it.
Attracting as if the drugging of pets kept,
On a short leash...
Will allow themselves to follow along,
Willfully.
Nibbling on sweetened treats to eat.
While being branded on their backs,
Who owns them as property.
Failure repeatedly achieved successfully,
Takes a skilled evil doer.
Promising visions of images.
And an abundance of entitlements.
Bestowed upon those,
Facing being replaced.
Erased.
By ethnic races.
Socially illiterate.
And lacking in proper etiquette graces.
Yet...
Claim they came from foreign shores,
Seeking that right opportunity...
To escape.
Through exits unseen.
Discreetly.
Regretting being labeled and branded,
Willing participants used as tools.
And made to have it believed,
They applaud the spreading of failure.
Meant to intend it done.
And proud to have this doing welcomed.
In public to display their gratitude.
But...
In private?
They become confused.
Too afraid to admit the taste of stupidity.
Although...
Who is it that has made them all fools?
To pretend what is delicious for them,
Has made them mentally sick!
Whether or not called immigrants.
Thieving refugees.
Or deprived native born,
Low life representatives...
Of various ethnic diversities.
It is the intent meant,
To fail a democracy increasingly proving...
The greatness of it,
Has had little to do with who gives image!
But who has contributed to its place,
That has made it great without it fictioned!
