Dysfunctional Acceptance
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
What today has been most accomplished,
Is an acceptance of expected dysfunction.
And accompanied by chaos.
To arrive with this achieved to believe,
The leaders of these times witnessed to see...
Reflects a disappearing of what had been,
A fading away of a great democracy.
Challenged by an imaged fictioned,
That this image has eroded.
To become too ethnic in its diversity.
Truth to delude it has created,
The increase of racism and bigotry displayed.
Done with lies to deceive.
And the selfish greeding fed to feed,
Discrimination between the people.
Using myths and history,
Re-written to teach fantasies non-existing.
Eliminating a reality.
The main reason and cause,
Of today's conflicts.
Failing even to serve,
Those who 'assume'...
Their way of life to be entitled,
For the quality of it...
Neither to earn independently,
Nor the right to claim only theirs to deserve.
Although feel they must defend,
Against the ones non-white.
The ones of colored skin,
Who built the beginning...
Of this country we all live in.
Before the Europeans came to steal.
The truth and reality away from them.
Dysfunctional acceptance,
Has been a contribution.
Implemented to create today's division.
As if to benefit,
Liars and thieves who corrupt and deceive.
With destroying their own freedoms.
Done to believe their actions will relieve,
A controlling of power.
And a ruling over others,
For the purpose to leave themselves pleased.
Yet incompetence to have it,
To pretend this act...
Is a performance of leadership?
Eventually results in more conflicts.
With this to observe it and witness,
Embarrassment and shame.
Brought upon those,
Heard to hear from those who blame...
Themselves.
For being the fools to allow,
Common sense not to use it.
But to abuse the ones,
Too intelligent to know...
Homegrown fools can not be told,
Who is much more competent to lead...
They should learn to follow.
Without pretending them to be,
The ones dumb, stupid and ignorant.
Since this to claim does not change,
The facts and evidence...
Of proof and the truth of reality to see,
For what it is to believe eventually!
Raucous is the chaos of a caucus.
Whether to deny or not its cause!
'WE WILL NOT BE REPLACED!'
Why would anyone,
Want to have that as an aspiration!?
