Analysis of Who Is Watching The Watchers Watch

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Assigned to spy on others profiled.
With a doing nonstop.
As if taught to learn their every move.
But who is teaching the watchers to watch?
And what is it that us being stopped.
Theft?
The continuing depth of accepted corruption?
Deception and the presence,
Of fiction to delude?
The high price paid to be duped and tricked?
Who watches crooks and thieves.
And allowing their criminal activities succeed.
While those victimized,
Are left permitted to protest...
Against the injustices they don't accept.
But they have been made to support,
The hiring of the watchers to endorse...
What they do to watch and stop,
Their criminal activities from being seen.
By those they have been taught to watch,
And profile to claim them to be the culprits.
Fitting the descriptions...
Created from their own depictions to watch!
And...
To make acknowledgement that identifies,
A kept profiling of their existence.

That's whose watching nonstopping,
The corruption intended to destruct humanity.
Successfully succeeding to dupe and deceive,
People.
Fellow human beings.
Made to easily deny...
Their deluded lives,
Are dependent upon fiction.
And offended by reality and truth to face.

While the watchers watch who they teach,
How to make fools obedient.
While treating their addiction to fiction,
Kept to believe truth is the enemy...
They should fear to feel it threatens.
And told of this by those who watch.
