Established Corruption
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Just how fast can cemented foundations,
Crumble to rumble.
And established corruption,
Destroy what it took a greatness to achieve.
Although not a prefect,
Representation of diversified equality.
This<>close to realize it,
Witnessed seen to be believed?
All it takes,
Is truth, facts and common sense erased.
From the minds of those,
Addicted to delude and fiction they will find...
The ease of being,
Entertained to undermine...
Those of ethnic races replaced.
By attempting to imitate and accomplish,
With a continuing to believe,
Can be done to deceive...
Truth and reality for what it is!
How high,
Can dimwitted incompetent misfits...
Rise to sit in seats of power?
'Envelope, please.
And that answer to your question is...
MONEY!
ALL IT TAKES IS MONEY.
TO IMPRESS STUPIDITY.
NOT BRAINS.
BUT JUST THE MONEY.
IN MINDS TO KEEP BELIEVED
THAT CAPTURES AND ATTRACTS,
THE UNCONSCIOUS TO ADAPT.
ANYTHING THAT FICTIONS...
REALITY!
Ooo...ANYTHING THAT FICTIONS,
A REALITY!
Ooo...
DONE and it DUE TO FICTION.
WHAT IT IS BELIEVED.
KEPT IN MINDS TO KEEP!
THERE TO STAY TO BELIEVE...
LIES TO TELL TO THOSE DECEIVED!
Ooo...whew.
IT IS THE MONEY.
NOT THE BRAINS,
KEEPING MANY KEPT FROM GOING INSANE.
IT'S THE MONEY.
NOT THE BRAINS KEPT TO KEEP,
MAINTAINED.
IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!
AND MONEY WANTED HAD THAT BAD,
THAT ESTABLISHES CORRUPTION!
THERE AS A MUST HAVE,
WHEREVER IT CAN BE HAD.
LEAVING MANY FEELING UNHAPPY.
KNOWING ENOUGH MONEY TO GET,
WILL NOT KEEP THEM FEELING GLAD.
