Analysis of Using Common Sense
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Could it be.
For the many finally the beginning,
Of using their minds and common sense.
Discovered,
With an awareness connected and found...
To have clarity.
As well as painless to their consciousness.
And...
For the many deluded to fiction,
Reality and truth to deny its existence.
Would find it found,
They have been duped, deceived.
With a hoodwinking done,
Curling their toes up to their knees.
They must be forgiven.
For the time it took for them so late,
To awaken to reality.
And having minds to have,
Allowed to go to waste.
Yet those awakened,
Could have never accept...
To believe themselves,
Made foolish enough to follow down a path...
With no escape but to face,
A dead end road.
Then told to hit their heads against,
Steel fences built and tall cemented walls.
To eliminate and free them,
From the truth and pain of hearing it all.
Then be convinced,
Their minds would be permanently numbed...
Forever not to feel,
The agony of their own permitted stupidity!
Done to eventually leave them,
Feeling great.
After they have cured and healed themselves,
Back into a normalcy missed to wish again!
Without a hint of truth to delude, deny...
Or fiction it lived!
'No way.
You mean,
We were that unconscious?'
So unconscious you were.
You were made to believe,
Going back to the past...
Would open the gates to your future!
With stick and rocks,
Thrown from sheltered caves.
To protect yourselves,
From rumors of threats heard to hear created.
'We had to have been hypnotized.'
Or media socialized.
Whichever the one,
Blinded and unconscious you were...
To accept and made to believe,
Anyone of an ethnic diversity...
Were coming to replace your presence.
Even though they and you,
Depend on each other to exist!
