Analysis of Downlow And Digging Deeper
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Trained guardians of taught blood suckered.
Should be proud of their abilities to teach,
An evil deceiving reality.
To help mess up the World.
With a giving everything they've got.
Nonstop.
And downlow.
Believing only from birth to know,
The World is theirs.
Bestowed to them from Heaven above.
Regardless how low they go to achieve,
Lessons taught to them to teach.
For an obtaining power and greed.
To mess up the World.
Determined this mission is their destiny.
Digging they do even deeper for proof.
They are more than just inhabitants.
Much more than human beings too!
And dig they do deeper.
Wishing to want their self righteousness,
Discovered, certified and validated.
As descendants of deities to idolize.
Praised and worshipped.
Like the symbolizing of fiction.
They grew to adore.
Yet few will admit,
Their pledge to align their minds to nonsense.
With a messing up the World,
To keep this belief.
Returning back to deliver,
Suffering and grief.
Taught to teach, obey and follow.
Makes no sense at all.
If the ones digging deeper,
Teaching this taught to learn.
Are the ones found in sorrow.
Earning to gain their own agony and pain.
Yet told this digging that they do...
Is a lesson to remember,
What power to have it...
Can mess up the entire World.
With a purpose kept to keep focused on it!
'Would this happen to be,
Some kind of reverse psychology?
Because...
The message seems more detrimental,
To those teaching this to expect...
Benefits to arrive to them,
For the rest of their lives.'
I observed and thought the same thing too!
But I have learned one thing,
From people who refuse to listen.
'What would that be?'
If the stove gets hot.
And a boiling pot begins to burn?
Why stay in the kitchen to argue about it.
Especially if you are not the cook.
Although made to believe,
Yourself to be a master chef.
But can not listen or pay attention,
To what's happening around you.
Yet...
You want to keep digging into something else.
Many have already told you,
To appreciate it for what it is!
Or learn to adapt without interfering.
'Interfering?
Interfering to do what?'
Proving how stupid,
The blooming of ignorance can be...
To spread around and harvest everywhere.
And...
You will be surprised,
How many seek to compete to perceive...
There is a top prize awarded to the winner!
