Entertaining Sickness
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Entertaining sickness.
And mentalities diseased,
By self serving importance and superiority.
Although...
Nothing they have done,
Has proven the betterment of humanity...
Is a priority on their minds.
As much as destruction has been.
To pay homage to ancestors,
Once to dwell in caves.
With an agenda to eliminate progress made,
By those too far advanced mentally.
To find barbaric and ancient games to play,
Done to do and choose to prove...
Conflicts, division and stupidity to refuse,
Leaves fools left to repeatedly...
Re-write their own history.
Only to return back to caves missed.
Yet reminisced with a feeling,
Of revisited homesickness!
