Analysis of Limited Subservient Wishes
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Limited subservient wishes.
Serving an ending eventually to reach,
A teaching taught to leech freely.
With a doing to undermine,
Contributions made.
By those who create innovative dreams.
Thought too impossible to touch.
For the purpose to enlighten humanity.
Done to enslave those obviously picked.
Yet historically humiliated.
To remain and stay that way.
At the advantage of those who greed.
Feasting exclusively.
In the belief subservience as a tool,
Powerful over the ones to use.
Mentally and physically as a choice to abuse.
Although...
Only fools homemade stay that way.
Dictating.
How they prefer their own demise.
With creative lies and deceiving alibis.
Blaming to claim entitlements not earned.
But stolen to declare ownership.
Belong to them to believe them not to end.
Yet...
It has been their dependency,
On the keeping the people servile.
And kept to perceive,
Themselves to be the ones in need.
However...
It is the truth and reality expose to see,
A fiction to delude...
Seldom preparing meals to eat.
Based upon impressions to make.
And pretensions to keep,
An empty stomach digesting...
A prolong satisfaction kept to imitate,
One's self importance fed on ego alone!
'Are they doing what I observe and see?'
Yeah.
They are hoping to gain sympathy.
With everyone's attention to get.
If they build a field to promote,
Their own crucifixations!
They have begun to do anything...
To have those oppressed.
And left subservient to believe,
They will torture themselves.
By any means necessary.
Just to prove they are the chosen ones.
We are living in times,
People will try anything to find...
Why they should be praised.
And others subservient should worship them!
Hey.
God works in mysterious ways.
And if those folks are in need,
Of that kind of attention to get?
Soon we will all know,
Who at the end benefits!
'Where do fools like that come from?'
I have no clue.
But I am blessed not to live,
Nowhere near that neighborhood!
