Stoop Low
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
So many opportunities there are today.
To stoop low and follow behind those,
Afraid of the truth to face to embrace...
That allow themselves to become disgraced.
So many opportunities for them to take,
An easy road to a cesspool.
As if there they will find,
Their addicted minds cleansed...
Of a fiction kept to keep themselves,
Becoming victims of their own ignorance.
Yet...
This to occur without consciousness to have.
Or common sense used,
Collectively between themselves...
To open their eyes and minds done to abuse.
Will always find them,
Protectively defending...
The very ones who have made them fools.
To believe the ones,
Who have fed them to feed historically.
Are now, today, no more deserving,
Than to be disrespected.
Neglected.
And referred by names,
That would turn their own...
Immigrant ancestors,
Away from associating them to be...
Descendents.
While these same ungrateful people,
Who are are not only thieves.
Crooks known to deceive publicly.
Claiming a country they have shown,
Zero patriotism.
Did everything they could,
To avoid civil and military service.
Contributed proudly to the spreading...
Of division, bigotry and racism.
In the attempt to segregate humanity.
Into discriminating ethnic races.
Made to fight over crumbs.
With this done to do to a country great.
To have this doing done to have it believe,
One who has already committed fraud...
Betrayal and treason.
Is the best pick they can choose,
To better their lives with evidence proven.
An habitual liar.
Addicted to narcissistic values.
And an ego needing constantly fed,
To feed self and no one else.
And this shown to know it,
Can only be explained.
By those who have become equally insane.
To accept their way of life,
Will not be drastically changed to remain...
As is!
With a few limited adjustments made!
