Ode To Those Flawless
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Imaged into an accepted perfection.
Created to envision a fictioned existence,
Imitated to idolize and worship...
With a senseless pretentiousness.
Woe grows on the aging mold,
Clinging onto rusting rituals.
Hoping to avoid,
An ode to those flawless.
Blemish free and faultless.
Mentally disturbed barbarians of the past.
Yet praised for their absence of sanity.
And ability,
To introduce friction, division and denial.
With this to claim,
Their entitled right to live life...
Recreating their ancestral chaotic ways!
Woe grows on the aging mold,
Clinging onto rusting rituals.
Hoping to avoid,
The singing of an old ode...
To those flawless.
Blemish free.
And faultless.
Yet praised for their chaotic ways.
Absent of common sense and sanity!
