Booing Decency
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Mud slinging tuxedo wearers.
Cussing sluts...
Showing up and appearing,
In evening gowns and gloves.
All observed applauding fraud.
Deception and corruption.
Representing the worst qualities,
Of groomed human beings to have.
Yet...
Backslapping happy.
Glad they are to declare themselves,
To be the best reflection...
Of what democracy offers.
While shown to be viewed publicly,
Booing the decency of it.
Proving...
The increasing mental deficiency,
Allowed, endorsed and supported.
By those entitled,
To continue to steal and protect...
A way of life kept maintained.
Through the spreading of theft,
And addicting blinded greed.
Done.
With the authority given by the ones,
Mentally limited and conscious of it!
Although expect they do,
The future bestows upon them...
Rewarding accolades,
For being prophets to profit...
From overwhelming visions,
Claimed to have witnessed.
When a light began to brighten,
The darkness of their caves!
