Losing Sanity
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Losing their sanity.
And...
On its dependence.
Losing their sanity.
With a turning their backs on reality.
Only people deluded,
Believe kept images feed.
Only people deluded,
Fiction what is not there to be.
Yet think of themselves to have,
Immortality.
They are losing their sanity.
And....
Crazed into a mad fantasy.
With a passionate sadness.
Done to believe themselves to be,
Threatened by ethnic diversity.
A diversity that kept them feeling,
Unneeded.
In a democracy.
And their willing to destroy a greatness.
Created by themselves to live,
Exclusively.
Yet...
Kept deluded.
By a false taught to teach,
History.
Mad.
And made crazed.
By lies told and deception.
Mad.
And made crazed.
By false perceptions.
Their losing to win what?
Remorse and regret?
Then what will they have left?
When those discredited to disrespect,
See them for who they are.
And choose to leave them,
By themselves.
Losing their sanity.
And what there is left of common sense.
Losing their sanity.
And common sense unused.
Killed to death.
Losing their sanity.
And themselves left to abused.
No one by this is amused.
Losing their sanity.
Made mad alone and left crazed!
Losing their sanity.
Observed to witness everyday.
With allowing to accept it.
Their madness and craze.
Allowing to accept it.
Allowed to accept.
Allowing to accept it.
Allowed to accept,
Their madness and craze.
Allowed to accept this,
Madness and craze!
