Analysis of Fictioning The Best Of Interests Kept
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It should be to no one left to wonder.
How can anyone could be picked,
To have leadership qualities.
Without knowledge of history.
Or current events.
Yet possesses the image that represents,
The best of their interests.
Kept to entertain,
A remaining to sustain...
Their way of life.
Lived to protect and fiction.
Although many will say,
Not to wonder at all.
That this is as natural a reaction,
No different than a tree that falls.
In a forest no one sees.
Yet...
Looking around for proof and evidence,
Of a tree that may have fallen.
But to say they could not find...
Neither a forest nor a single tree.
Declaring a need for help to get up.
Or proclaim their condition,
An emergency.
Requiring urgent medical assistance!
