Analysis of Mentally Challenged
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Knowledge to obtain it,
Is available to receive.
But achieving it does not come easy.
It takes a wanting to comprehend,
What before had been ignored.
Or not believed to be beneficial.
Knowledge to acquire it,
Does have prior doubting skeptics.
You know,
The ones who are still...
Arguing over truth and its reality.
While posing with cartoon characters,
To capture their adventures in pictures taken.
At popular amusement parks.
And they may just be labelled scholars,
Teachers at some college.
Or some prestigious Ivy league school.
Paying big bucks to end up fools.
And...
That is not a cynic criticism.
That is an observation.
As to who sits picked as qualified leaders,
To walk halls of pretentious authority!?
These folks are all over the place.
Creating division, confusion, delusion...
And their fictioned racists beliefs.
Infiltrating defenseless minds,
Blinded by movies and high definition TVs!
Who is left not to be mentally challenged?
Even those highly regarded,
As experts in fields of science, education...
Psychology, religion and human behavior.
Seen on TV marketing their authored books.
Can not introduce a remedy to correct,
A World wide mess their expertise...
Has created.
The absence of common sense,
Is the missing link in these vacant heads.
And the only man made creation,
Replacing humanity these...
Chasing the dollar,
To feed the feasting more on greed days...
Are the robots!
Servicing the elite.
Without them, they and others 'assuming',
Their quality of life is prioritized!
Leaving people to laugh.
When paid comedians,
Seriously tell them...
Why and who for what reason,
Wants them all to hate themselves...
To enjoy the fun of doing it!
