Analysis of On Both Sides Unseen
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
People seek to win to sit in positions,
At the paying of any cost.
Except for one exception.
Losing.
And refusing the loss,
Is at their own detriment.
Yet insist to blame the opposition,
For participating in a game...
Puppeteered and monopolized,
By the elite.
On both sides behind the scenes unseen,
Pulling and manipulating the strings.
And who is maneuvered to do what.
Where, when and sweetened deception.
To achieve not the Lord's Blessing.
But endorsed financial support!
