Analysis of Liable
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
There comes a time to find,
One word appropriately used and fits...
To describe a mind vacant of common sense.
Yet the doing of it would solicit empathy.
Undeserved but witnessed serving,
Someone mentally sickened...
With a cemented narcissistic,
Self indulging existence.
Condoned.
From birth.
In one's mind permanently implemented.
Found liable.
For an act to commit.
Although habitually known to publicly admit,
Of visiting gutters where one feels comforted.
And shamelessly damaged.
However...
Supported and endorsed,
By followers who remain...
Loyal to the repetitive decadence of this.
Since...
No one addicted,
Seem capable to escape away...
From these scathing escapades.
Drugged they are and needing a fix,
Done to enhance the romancing of this B.S.
Defended to protect,
An image fictioned.
Kept visually projected.
Clear of fault and accusations alleged.
Blame it on the system.
Not the ones made,
Intentionally demented.
Blame it on the system.
Decaying from age,
And crumbling pretentions.
Claimed with alibis to use,
That others are the culprits abusing the rules.
Blame it on the system.
Not the ones made,
Intentionally demented.
Blame it on the system.
Deluded to fiction truth.
Fading.
From reality to face.
Fading.
From reality to face.
Fading.
From reality to face.
But reliable to deny lies.
Blame this on the system.
Not the ones made,
Intentionally demented.
And liable to make up more lies.
Told.
And liable to make up more lies.
Sold.
And liable to make up more lies!
