Analysis of Fractured Personalities
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Fractured is the cult of multiple personalities.
Affiliating to establish a status,
Connecting their social activities...
And political beliefs with wishes to achieve.
An 'exclusive' entity.
One unwilling or incapable,
To separate themselves from pledges made...
That allows a democratic way of life.
Known to respect and follow day and night.
Without exceptions created.
Today...
Indulgent fractured ego driven personalities,
Living in subdivisions of hypocrisy.
Pledging allegiances to various cults.
With a claiming to have,
Steadfast religious beliefs.
Are finding it difficult to prove,
What it is they do represent.
And who among their followers,
Influenced should expect...
As a direct benefit meant to receive and get.
Besides rhetoric repeated,
Absent...
Of concrete promises made yet to deliver.
But billions of dollars spent on campaigns.
With routines updated to renovate,
The movement of disguised revolving doors!
Adventures to encourage,
An invitation to recognize the bright light...
Of times to come!
