Easy And Effective
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Easy and effective.
There is no other better way,
To declare oneself to be a victim today.
Than using the advantages of the media,
Displaying a people to be of goodwill.
And disciples of charitable deeds,
Shown on TV, movies, local news outlets.
Continuously on a daily basis.
Then portray,
Those being helped as ungrateful receivers.
With this done to have viewers,
Accept and believe people of ethnic diversity...
Have a hidden agenda to replace,
The hand that bleeds doing all it can...
To feed the ones attempting to bite it off!
'Look!
The Native Indians,
Healed them from diseases and taught them...
How to plant and eat corn.
They enslaved Africans.
And treated like domesticated animals.
Not to mention the Chinese,
Who created and built the railway system.
So...
It is only natural for them,
To declare themselves victimized...
By the very people who enhanced,
Their quality of life!
What has changed?'
Well...
Perception.
Truth to delude and fiction.
And few people given opportunities,
To advertise, market and sell...
Their version of reality from their perspective.
Over a media system,
They have been historically prevented...
From owning to depict themselves.
And besides...
Deception to crave these days is the rage!
'You can say that again.
People everywhere seem to be appetizing,
With a raging craze to sicken themselves...
Into an irreversible madness.'
What other way is it better to express,
Flattery to quietly accept it?
Than imitation!
People love to imitate,
What is made to believe has been approved!
Check it out!
Observation is the key,
To comprehending to understand...
How teaching becomes more effective,
When examples are made easier to witness!
Easier to digest,
The sugar coated sweetness of it.
Tell me...
Do you truthfully believe,
Those who shout about not being replaced.
Or fear critical race theories being taught,
To their children.
Actually know anything other than fiction,
About their own history?
Who...who 'boo'... runs away,
From wanting to become....
A better human being?
And...
Could care less as to who they owe,
The credit for maintaining to sustain...
Their own quality of life.
A quality of life...
They are willing to destroy.
Because of an image to delude and fiction.
Whatever it is that has introduced,
This juice to drink.
Or throw on the grill to sizzle until,
Ready to put between buns to nibble on?
Ain't normal!
'But...
Suppose it is and not enough time is given,
To adjust and adapt to it!'
