Analysis of Out From The Woodwork
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Out from the woodwork.
Come the naysayers and hypocrites.
Trained and conditioned,
To chew away like carpenter ants.
Anything structured.
With a promise to destroy and disrupt,
Where positive intentions cemented...
Stay to stand as meant.
Out from the woodwork.
Come evil misdeed doers.
Candlelight buzzards.
Seeking attention for themselves to get.
And do.
They get it too.
With a full display of who they are.
Witnessed united.
And shown to have an appetite,
For all that is wrong...
By those doing the right thing to live,
A better life!
