Glue Sniffing Theories
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Amidst a virus still threatening,
The 'normalcy' of life missed.
And accusations of Police,
Using native born citizens...
As targets to practice,
Their ability to kill them.
On urban and suburban streets.
And the continued rise,
Of social civil unrest.
Now...
Being introduced to test our minds,
Is the latest creation.
That has come to effect,
Our thought process.
Yes!
By elected political officials.
Doing their best...
And not to do secretly.
To spread,
Glue sniffing theories!
Yes!
Glue sniffing theories.
That kind of glue,
My friends and I once stiffed.
When we bought,
Our toy airplane kits.
We used to put together...
Every piece of those planes.
To ensure they stayed...
Stuck to stick.
And...
We got higher than those planes.
Imagining,
We had actually left the ground.
Yes!
However...
These days as they are to be.
What other explanation can explain,
Such ridiculous conspiracy theories?
Excerpts of Dr. Zuess,
Has been read in the law creating...
Chambers of Congress.
People filmed,
Committing an insurrection...
Against their own government.
Folks appointed,
By their constituents, yet...
Refuse to protect their interests.
Denying them a better quality of life.
As if they have the right...
To sacrifice their lives,
Done to feed their own selfish needs.
Leaving the people who follow them,
Agreeing to this ignorant nonsense.
Oh...
Ridiculous and crazed,
Are these accepting days...
Of mental instabilities.
Taking minds further away,
From whatever reality that had been.
And to enjoy this drug to delude,
With a determination...
To fiction a life.
That does not include truth as is,
To face and embrace it.
Or accept the benefits,
Of being mentally sound.
With both feet on the ground.
