Analysis of Nuisance
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The more attention given,
To the activities of a menace.
Is like feeding gasoline to a bonfire.
That is no different than creating a nuisance.
With a doing to complain,
About a havoc allowed to spread.
Yet...
Awaiting to witness to observe,
To where it spreads.
For how long and wide,
The damage done to do it escalates.
Leaving the attention given to a nuisance,
Enjoyed by the menace not to finish.
Nor intend to have it end!
