Sweetened Lies To Treat
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Sweetened lies to treat.
Free.
And addicting used as a substitute.
Leaving even the natural taste of truth,
Left suspected to refuse more to consume.
No more of it is wanted.
Less of it,
Has been slowly removed.
So delicious is the flavor.
Savored as the best deception yet.
To serve it up for breakfast.
Lunch and supper.
Creating the expected effect.
Mmmm...
People agree,
Nothing else can compare.
To the aftertaste this sweetness leaves.
Morning, noon and night time too!
This taste to crave is their dream come true.
Mmmm...
No sleep they get.
Most stay awake.
Awaiting for the arrival,
Of more to taste to know it faked.
Rushed to radios, TV's...
To hear announcements made.
That the Master of Ingredients,
Has a supply of more lies created.
Then hear they do heard to tell,
From the Master of Ingredients deceived...
Is in need of more allies,
To defend the lies told sweetened to sell.
And the people with minds,
Distorted and addicted...
Crowd around prepared to defend.
Against those who dare,
Expose the truth and its reality.
Leaving the people outrage with insanity!
Regardless,
Of what has been fed to feed to them...
Leads them to The Valley of Darkness.
Digesting pain, sorrow and regret.
Yet not to expect a complete feeling,
Of being deceived.
But still they allow themselves to follow,
With a doing to believe...
The Master of Lies is on their side.
Although,
This Master...
In their darkened painful sorrows.
Nowhere near them can be seen.
However...
Heard through rumors,
Is pleased to be followed.
And allowed to be given time,
To find a better way to create...
More sweetness to taste,
For those seem unable to appreciate...
How long it takes for others to consume,
Lies to make up and them to digest!
And this is not,
What a narcissistic ego had expected!
