Analysis of To Be Continued...
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
To be continued...
Each episode,
Of an ongoing saga thought to end.
Leaves many viewers left desperate.
For a conclusion.
Yet unexpected no one accepts,
Are the upcoming previews.
Teased to expect.
Crime, deception and fraud revealed.
By real performers.
Followed to film them,
Admitting their activities.
While sitting in positions of authority.
Lieing to the people.
Seen to fiction the truth away and steal.
Knowing what they perform to do,
Keeps the minds of the people...
Deluded and entertained.
To be continued...
Each episode.
From one to the next.
Promoting division.
With a taste of bigotry.
And the effective use,
Of a touch human abuse.
Including a spice of ethnic hatefulness.
To be continued is the introduction,
Of innocent children.
Taught to teach,
Who to bully and victimize...
Anonymously over the internet.
Until,
Nothing of humanity is left to respect.
To be continued to correct,
The affect of mental illness.
Normalized.
As a way of life they only know,
That effectively destroys prematurely...
Their future and those of others.
Successfully to do it,
With an effectiveness approved...
By the ones, who today,
Are proud to have been their leaders.
Teaching lessons how to self destruct.
To amuse themselves and done to enjoy!
