Impulsive Rushes
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Impulsive,
Self indulging rushes...
From one to another.
Unsatisfying to leave pleased or relieving,
A mind hoping desperately...
What is alleged to accuse another to abuse,
Will be discovered to be true.
Although without facts to prove.
Crazed and made mentally unfit.
Tormented and clinically diagnosed,
Overdosing on self serving righteousness.
And can not accept,
Their impulsive self indulging rushes.
From one denial to delude another to fiction.
Does not make one certifiably crazed.
Discovered to have concealed,
A brillant mind kept hidden to pretend...
The finding of this out,
Will shock and surprise...
Those unable to shut their mouths.
After nonstop to drop Jaws,
Have left them permanently that way.
With it on a daily basis left to disbelieve,
People sitting in positions of authority...
Could possibly be less competent,
Than a smiling clown.
Needing to be taught how to frown.
If a wanting to be a part of a circus,
Is felt that bad to desire the opportunity!
'But...
Where you are,
Is the pinnacle from which...
Selected and hand picked clowns,
Come to represent their constituents!'
'I know.
Of all times to become embarrassed.
And...
I practiced my deceiving skills,
For years to go undetected.
And here I am,
Unable to convince...
Of having mental instabilities.'
'Well...
Cheer up.
I can add you to our 'wanna be' waiting list.
And those who go through the training,
Are said to become better clowns...
Than those elected now sitting.
Pretending themselves to be,
The cheese, the chips, the dip.
Master of Ceremonies and star of the show.
Do you have...
That impulsive rushing ambition?'
'I...uh....I.
I don't know what to say!'
'Either way.
Here?
You will learn to lie,
Without hint of a smile.
Or falling to your knees laughing,
With tears like rain drops.
Falling down your face.
As to how easy people volunteer themselves,
To be used as fools and proud of it!'
