Crashing Attractions Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Vanity.
Wealth.
And the status to it given.

Ego, narcissism...
Indulged.
With this to live,
As the only important priority.
Followed to support.
Worshipped and believed.
Selfishly.
Promoted from powerful towers.
Worldwide.

Distracting truth and honesty.
Contaminating the atmosphere.
Poisoning the air with hypocrisy.
Intentionally destroying,
The consciousness of all mentalities.

Ultimately crashing fast,
These attractions to have...
Burn.
Leaving lessons taught to teach,
Too late from them to learn.

Yet the effort to attempt it,
Can only be said...
Severely outdated.
Although this endeavor made,
Could be a sign,
A craze to accept as normalcy.
Has finally been found,
In need of re-evaluating...
Reality.

And the frauding of it.
To praise more of those representing,
Flaws, dysfunctions...
Corrupting the process of thought.
Done to kill common sense.
Will bring this lawlessness,
Along with the madness of it...
Brought back to a manageable sanity!
Achieved.
In the midst of the most,
Dire of circumstances.

"Please. Please save us."

-Save you?
From what? -

"Ourselves."

-Only God can do that.
And besides...
Who and when,
Decided to notice...
That process should have started?
And where were you,
When that decision was made.
To ignore? -

"We are not seeking,
Your philosophical psychology.
Or the details that led,
To our dilemma.
We are in need to be saved."

-Look.
Listen up.
I can either call for you,
A cab or direct you to a bus stop.
But...
Normally I don't quote scriptures.
Or carry around with me a Bible! -
