The Popularity Of Childishness
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The popularity that represents,
An increasing rise of childishness.
Performed and tolerated,
By those who only seek to win...
That wanted wish to be praised as great.
Although that image of it,
Has arrived for them to achieve a dead end.
With no sandbox near to play,
An innocence pretending being victimized.
Yet left to congratulate them,
Are other children.
Dressed as adults.
Although between themselves,
That they can not do...
To successfully articulate.
Since imitating to impress they do very well.
From the highest seats of law and order.
No law is there nor neither believed,
Is there order to achieve.
And more and more,
Their followers seem thrilled.
To have their established institutions,
Crushed into rocks then thrown down hills.
Done to believe this unconsciousness leaves,
A power to keep a quality of life...
Controlled and ruled by a bunch of kids.
Bullying each other.
In a place that use to be,
Respected around the World.
But today too laughable to keep that belief,
More seriously than the children left alone...
Destroying the value of the house.
To fiction and delude themselves to be adults!
Not to know a single thing,
About the history of the house.
Or those who struggled to build it,
Where it sits to have been for centuries!
And taught to teach by their 'guardians',
Had been that last thing on their minds.
To assume that as an example,
Had been shown by the way...
They conducted themselves to be well known.
