Analysis of Time To Tolerate Analyzing
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Ignorance given time to tolerate,
Debating it to analyze.
Then deciding how and where,
The presence of ignorance...
Began to begin.
Does not make common sense,
Closer to a mind to realize its use.
Since this time is wasted,
On impressions to make...
Of having intelligence to fake it!
'And...
Whose inability to use common sense,
Are you questioning...
With a tunneled judgement to pass?'
'I am not a scholar or mental therapist.
But this I do know...
Never will I brag about time I spent,
Doing anything that gets worse...
Than it was before I started.
To claim of having knowledge,
Of how my involvement...
Can correct and solve a problem.'
'So...
What does that say about ignorance?
And it everywhere these days displayed.'
'Hey...
If it works in one's favor?
Why not flaunt it.
They will never be accused or blamed,
By anyone disappointed...
For an intelligence they were not heard,
Bragging about having.
To then claim to fix everything done,
They messed up.
With it watched to condone and allow.'
'And followed to support and endorsed,
By those too afraid to admit...
Or just embarrassed by it all.
That they sat to sit,
Approving the smell of the nonsense.
With time to tolerate analyzing,
From where it all began to flow!
Still not getting them from 'A' to 'B',
To 'C' a thing that makes 'D' a difference.'
