Busted
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Crushed.
Credibility and trust busted.
Crumbling into a floating of dust.
This pretentiousness of corruption.
Awarding entitlements done to do as if,
Reversing progress...
And promising advancements achieved,
Is not effective enough...
Unless the image given is fictioned to believe.
Like the many appointed to sit,
In positions of leadership.
Without proven competence.
Yet remain to be heard purposely to repeat,
How ethnic diversity...
Has been the cause and reason,
Why greeding feeding leeches...
Such the life out of humanity.
To self serve their own wants and needs.
While hypocritically screaming,
From their own pain inflicted.
And what explanation,
Can be used to make understood...
A strategy lacking in common sense.
Could it be,
The bartering of souls for prestige...
Left mental vacancies.
With the normalcy of this 'pandemic'....
Blatantly implemented,
To eventually become the craze to crave...
As a must have to benefit,
Another industry to create more B.S.
Too addicting to refuse,
Observing to witness or acknowledge...
One's own sickness allowed to spread.
