Analysis of >>>Garbage In; Garbage Out>>>
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Dismissed stabilizing indifference.
Enjoyed preferences for more decadence.
Racial bigotry,
Publicly displayed in ways meant to intend.
And supported by false images,
Fictioned yet kept to worship them.
Truth to deceive with lies told to believe,
Repeatedly to accept...
Being destroyed by ethnic diversity,
Affecting effectively the purity of whiteness!
Has produced successfully,
A garbage in; garbage out reality...
Of a way of life defending to protect,
The increasing of a dysfunctional normalcy.
That many living are made to feel,
Threatened by truth and evidence of honesty.
People refuse to leave an addiction,
To a garbage that cultivates their pretensions.
However it goes in to come out to charade!
'Your observations to witness,
Come from a nonconforming point of view.'
'...and, is that it?
Is that all you are going to admit?'
'I would say,
The B.S. is overwhelming.
But...
Who am I to notice,
What we all have become to depend upon!'
'Although,
Repetition kept done to do...
Gone unnoticed to accept,
Will always be blamed on something else.
Or someone available to abuse and accuse.
Than oneself to perpetuate,
Their own headaches to initiate them.
Then...
Rely on their own lies to tell,
To mend, cure and heal sorrows they start!'
'What do you expect heard from me to say?'
'Does that matter?
Aren't we all taught and trained,
To accuse and blame...
The ones who tell the truth?'
'I haven't said anything honest or truthful!'
'To that...
I disagree.
You said, and I quote...
"Your observations to witness.
Come from a nonconforming point of view!"
So...
Either way,
Both of us contribute to hypocritical ways.
Done to then contradict ourselves.
Where else is that known,
To uphold with such pride and dignity?!'
