Analysis of Adversity
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
To initiate, create, implement and celebrate,
Adversity.
In the hope time taken to instigate hatred,
And hostilities to bait of all kinds.
Goes thrown in one direction to not reverse,
A returning of an adversity to receive first...
Adversed with equal purpose.
What is it deserving that serves anyone,
Accepting what is continued done...
Is a benefit of what and for who,
May or may not be hired to clean up the mess!
