Analysis of The Enormity Of Smothering Ignorance
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
An addiction that has left many hooked.
With a craze to crave the following,
Of one who entertains and performs...
As if their stupidity,
Has been achieved successfully.
Done with a natural appeasing quality.
Like a mad Baboon on display but dressed,
Impeccably.
That the enormity of smothering ignorance,
Leaving few incapable to refuse...
The seeing of themselves reflected.
In one they admire and represents,
Being brave and bold enough...
To actually be who they are in public.
Yet high on self importance.
With a doing to redefine,
The meaning of narcissistic egoism.
As it applies to those who prove and show,
The can deceive, fraud, lie, dupe and steal...
And remain defended,
By the ones finally seeing themselves...
Represented.
With a getting of attention...
They defend and perceive is theirs to deserve!
