Analysis of Attention Seekers
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
A unified and a collective togetherness,
As seen from a distance...
Is as it appears to be from the outside seen.
With that perceived believed.
Does not exist...
When from the inside,
Jealous attention seekers...
Have successfully infested,
The spreading of this disease...
Mentally manifesting among themselves.
And...
Known to be shown condoning,
The cracking of what could have been...
A solid foundation.
Instead of the inviting,
The demeaning stabbing of backs.
By those finding the use of facts,
Meaningless.
Since the creating of industries,
To build and own themselves...
Would leave,
Their future generations...
Left to grow to know,
What can result from efforts to endeavor...
Encouraging others to have and keep,
Motivation, desire and incentive together.
The only thing attention sought to seek gets,
Is a guarantee...
More of it expected to receive,
Can be a disappointing gift to give...
To anyone anticipating,
The benefits of a business.
And the keys to doors of that business.
With nothing owed to anyone,
But the customers coming in...
Seeking attention.
For services rendered to pay their cash!
