Obsessing The Presence Of Madness
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Truthless is the image,
Obsessed with the presence of madness.
Supported and allowed to follow.
Celebrating a man made crazed.
By self importance many today praise.
No matter what this menace has to say,
That fictions to delude,
An unstable mind unlike any to find...
Incapable to define,
The difference between reality.
And the meaning of it,
Without comparing nonsense...
Spoken by animated cartoon characters.
Done to claim to be just intelligent.
As this dimwit treated,
To be a genius given...
Fame because of a name.
Empty of substance yet represents shame.
Although it is the madness expressed,
That qualifies this craze to have,
Narcissisticly possessed.
And nothing more nor less.
Followers accept and it kept to believe,
Mentalities sickened like these...
Have been blessed to correct,
Every problem faced to see quickly erased.
As long as everyone embraces,
Being told what to do by a fool...
Elected to sit to give power to undo,
A way of life that can be made...
Greater 'Again'.
But from what to witness it ended!
