Analysis of The Inevitable Shown
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The inevitable shown.
With evidence revealed.
For many years to make known.
A normalcy unraveling,
Needs not to have a psychologist...
Or a scientist to condone.
Repeatedly is the proof produced.
Effectively applied to deny.
The pieces of a puzzle.
Purposely to disguise,
A picture clearly hidden to hide.
But it is not just the picture,
Exhibited until finished to see.
Since it's the people who already know,
What has been fictioned to delude...
Has slowly diminished,
A way of life and the reality to believe...
Has anything to do with a normalcy.
Gone.
Without fantasies as an option to choose,
Rejuvenating a past.
Selected to recreate,
What some ancestors had.
When division, theft, bigotry and hatred,
Was more of a custom.
Than an open public debate!
