Analysis of Sucked Up
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
To a new level of craze.
Uniquely reached.
And unconsciously praised.
As if this blindness pursued,
Desperately...
Would be welcomed,
By misdeeding evil doers.
Planning to celebrate.
Complete with pomp and circumstance.
Although none not anticipating,
The buffet of blood laid out to feast...
Drained from the emptied minds,
Of their own kind.
Discovered and found to find sucked up!
And left used to abuse,
For purposes to attract...
Deceivers loving the act of backstabbing.
In a tasteful pretentiousness.
Delivered to impress those equally evil.
