Current Events
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
No one may like,
The turn of current events.
Since it's the truth that's revealed,
Many sitting on the fence.
That offends their defense.
It is the nonsense.
Many depend upon their nonsense.
Kept to believe.
It is in their nonsense,
Many feel secure and safe.
No matter what is said and done.
To prove a truth to everyone.
Some will refute what truth is.
Preferring to stay negative.
While others will refuse to admit,
The lives they live is a perfect fit.
Although no word is heard to express.
As to why together they all protest,
Against a mess gone unaddressed.
No matter what is said and done.
Many will follow and allow,
Themselves to blame others.
Others in the same crowd.
What is it,
About current events....
Making no sense at all.
What is It,
About these events.
Breaking the rules and laws.
Making people to accept the craze.
Homemade.
Making people to accept their craze.
Making people to accept the craze.
Homemade.
Making people to accept their craze.
No matter what is said and done.
Many will follow.
Yet away no one runs.
Making people to accept their craze,
Homemade.
Making people to accept the craze.
Making people to accept a craze they made.
Making people to accept these days!
Celebrated.
In the streets to create more displayed!
