Supporting Distortion
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Supporting distortion.
Based and built upon allegations,
And personal demeaning critique.
That continues to travel,
Down that road that diminishes...
Anyone's abilities, skills and credibility.
Remaining to reflect on the beliefs,
Of the people.
Deceived by those who are determined,
To undermine the very ones...
Unafraid of truth to speak it.
Regardless of their attempts to improve,
The quality of life for all.
Without a selfishness for attention to get.
Yet always there will be,
Many made envious and jealous...
Of others doing their best,
Sacrificing themselves to just do good deeds!
Leaving the wishes of those who distract,
Gaining support for their factless evil actions!
