Analysis of No Return Policy
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Evil beasts enjoying the feast of deceiving.
And telling lies told to sell well.
Bought to buy as told them sold.
Has created divisions splitting into decisions,
Between those and many not to know...
The power of liars to rule and control,
Over the minds of the ones...
Made fools to regret,
Allowing themselves to become upset.
To now wish and want,
Forgiveness to them given.
With all forgotten in tricked to dupe minds,
Erased to forget judgements passed.
Along to have ruined credible reputations,
Mended.
'Uh...
Why are the people,
Who created all the mess...
Now point fingers.
To argue amongst themselves?'
'Who knows.
But I'm willing to bet,
They have buyer's remorse.
'Yep.
And...
Have discovered for themselves,
What they bought to buy...
To own without question to possess.
Has no return of a forgiving to forget policy!'
'OH?
So,
What is the issue?
What is the problem?'
'Jumping to conclusions impulsively.
Started by a ringleader.
Seeking and sought attention to get.
Exclusively.
And my guess would be,
A sharing of thoughtlessness involved.'
'What a loss!'
'And...
At the cost,
Of losing once reliable...
Established relationships.
Broken.
Unable to mend again as they had been!
Before jealousy and envy,
Became an effective weapon used.'
