Analysis of Faked News
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Hold on tight.
Before that which is being fed to you,
Becomes an appetite to crave.
And this day after day,
You look forward to fix this addiction.
Into an anticipating to await,
Enemies to make.
First of all,
Listening to what others have to say.
And this includes neighbors.
Friends and family members.
Giving you their opinions made,
About others you have yet to meet.
Or can describe who they are if asked.
The challenge I present to you is this,
Don't allow and permit...
Yourself to be that stupid.
Enemies are made to create them.
Even your current relationships,
Can become easily destroyed.
By deceptions,
People want and hope for you to believe.
Just for the fun of ruining your happiness.
As they observe to witness steps you take,
Delighting to see you become everyday...
Make excuses.
For being as miserable as they are.
Don't do that to yourself.
Seek the truth in everything you do.
With a using common sense.
Distant and free from fiction to delude reality!
And...
Don't do this for anyone else.
Do this for yourself.
Undo that faked news to rid out of your head!
Life to live you will find more satisfying.
