Analysis of Perversion
Because of perversion,
the straightest path bends
Because of perversion,
confusion befriends
Because of perversion,
all smiles a frown
Because of perversion,
up is now down
Because of perversion,
the truth is a lie
Because of perversion,
a pig seeks to fly
Because of perversion,
all evil portends
Because of perversion,
—this world will soon end
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
