Obvious Feuds
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Too obvious are the feuds.
And the hostilities spewed,
With an inviting of infighting...
Solicited between,
Those who historically demean and abuse...
One another.
Viciously igniting,
A power grabbing to prevent...
Consent given,
The very one they chose...
Would lead with a leadership.
Only to oppose the one they chose.
To depict as weak.
Since venom does not appear,
Drooling down his razor sharpened teeth.
The wicked and evil,
Blood thirsting for fresh rare meat.
As they circle around as if vulchers awaiting,
To descend upon a diverse democracy.
Prepared to devour,
Any decency that represents...
Humanity and future descendents.
Attempting to gain equality of power.
Distributed and share.
Leaving deceivers feeling threatened,
That their power grab to rule and control...
Maybe lost to those,
More conscious and aware than suspected.
And the obvious feuds between those evil,
Are observed to watch,
Them self destruct.
Since nothing else is left to do,
But patiently sit and enjoy the view.
'What then will happen to our democracy?'
'Become better and stronger than ever.
After nuts have been discovered,
To have abandoned their shells.
The shells become useless.
And who in their right mind and aware of it.
Would find a uselessness valued to prioritize,
A supporting to endorse,
What has been a waste of time...
And,
From the very beginning worthless.
To know the outcome of what breaks.
Can only be fixed with proven competence!
And that competence to have it,
Has yet to be witnessed...
By those feuding amongst themselves.
Competence is not for them,
To have it.
Wish it.
Or be noticed around them to allow!'
