Baseless Nonsense Priorirized
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Incredible it is,
How clear it has become...
To realize the many,
Who have succumbed to prioritize...
The living of their lives,
On baseless nonsense.
Condoning this too obvious.
And allowing it known.
Spreading rumors to gossip.
Without scent or hint of facts.
As if to enjoy the lack,
Of proof or evidence.
Before taking action,
On someone not to know.
Just for the fun,
To verbally attack them.
So many with minds to use,
Don't do it and refuse.
Numbed up or down to dumbness.
And proud to appear,
Among the thoughtless.
Self centered and mentally distant.
As if it has become an honor,
To be selected to pledge...
Allegiance to stupidity!
'Your comments made are tactless.
Rude and offensive.
Unpatriotic.
Un-American.
And so far to the left,
Too embarrassing for those of us...
Upholding to maintain,
Our Conservative ideals.'
Whew!
That's a relief.
Thank God you did not think of them,
As compliments.
Both of us,
Would have completely...
Misunderstood my intentions!
