Lame Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Lame.
For attention wished to gain,
Recognition to get names...
To mention no one knew,
But will hear on streets repeated.

Serious issues and causes are tossed,
Away or either lost...
For idiotic topics talked,
And bought by those drained of all thoughts.

Done to keep the dumbdown further numbed.
And drained...
Of minds sickened from thinking.
Done...
To keep those dumbed down numb.
And drained...
From keeping thoughts sustained.

Lame.
For attention wished to gain,
Recognition to get names...
To mention no one knew,
But will hear on streets repeated.

And,
This is done...
To keep those dumbed down numb.
And drained...
From keeping thoughts sustained.

Serious issues and causes are tossed,
Away or either lost...
For idiotic topics talked,
And bought by those drained of all thoughts...
To ever come.
Or be done.
