Weaponizing A Menace

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Weaponizing the sins of a menace.
Has never won anyone committed,
To witness this menace...
Cross the finish line as champion.
Winning against the competition.
Lacking in luster bluster and bluff.

Weaponizing a menace.
Full of narcissism, ego...
And peacock feathered fluff.
Accustomed to entertain a frauding of pride.
With a doing to achieve,
Adoring fans hypnotized.

To eventually discover,
Their fluffed up feathers plucked.
Personally in a performance public.
Returning regret and reluctant remorse.
To hoards of fans who allowed to follow,
A duck disguised as a peacock.
Deliciously deceiving,
Leaving them treated by a performance.
Although sickened they become,
With lots of time to remember a menace...
They assisted with cheers and applause.
That had directly caused,
Disgust, agony and their own attempts...
To try to deny,
Their supporting to endorse...
The joy and craze of the madness.
Effectively spreading mental illness!
Monopolized to manipulate minds,
Left deluded and severed from using...
Common sense.
Gone to barter or worthlessly pawned away.
For a life to live.
That has become permanently fictioned.
Defended!
