Analysis of Scandal Land
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Take my hand.
Let us now stroll,
Through Scandal Land.
A place,
Told to not exist.
Yet visited,
By hypocrites!
There to sit,
Are the stolen jewels.
Sparkling bright.
To blind and fool,
Those invited...
To believe what they see,
Is the future being built...
Exclusively to serve,
The wishes, wants and needs of the poor!
