Analysis of Flagrant Is The Taste And Flavor
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Flagrant is the taste and sweet flavor.
Of betrayal to visit one's commitment,
For to appetite and crave it.
Pleasing the pleasure,
Of one's boundless narcissistic ego.
And...
Yet permitted to sit,
At the pinnacle of leadership doing this.
With a known and misfit mentality.
This can only describe and depict,
A society of citizens...
Obessesively possessive of entitlements,
To get.
With a thoughtless caring less,
As to how the excess is delivered...
To their kept secret protected and exclusive,
Addresses.
Condoning they do,
The following to drown in their own B S.
Loving from the top to the bottom,
To drop themselves into a pit of quicksand.
And loyal they remain to stay.
To a leader picked.
Who would crush them all under a bus.
Without a thought to think or feel about it.
Even if this leader is in indicted.
For deception, fraud and crimes unlimited.
Flagrant is the flavor they too also wish.
Since incredible as it is to appear as reality.
This addiction that has sickened,
Many minds of the people...
Left drugged to deny, delude and fiction truth.
Are still disbelieving the evidence and proof,
Repeatedly produced.
They will defend by any means necessary,
A leader that has tricked, duped...
And fooled them all.
To prepare for a downfall to not question.
But do it for the enjoyment.
'Why are we all sinking in this quicksand?
When our leader is nowhere around to join us?
Didn't he announce,
He would be with us at this event?'
'Yes. He did.
And by now you should know,
Every word he says to tell us...
Is meant as if cemented in honesty.
When was the last time,
You remember he intentionally deceived us.
To satisfy his own needs.'
'Well...
Let just say this...I...'
'I'm listening. Go ahead.
I said, I was listening.
Where...
Where are you?'
