On And In What Stage Of Regret Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

On and in what stage of regret,
Will an accepted sorrow be fully embraced.
With a forgiveness granted?
Unfortunately...
These actions are seen as signs of weaknesses.
And...
Today,
Treating weaknesses for a round of mall shopping,
Is not economically cost effective.
And a way of life has been stalled to shed just tears.

Variety is said to be the spice of life.
One's nectar of true happiness.

But expressing one's regret,
Has adopted customs of doing it in spotlight.
With invited guests.
Who may or may not choose to dress,
In After Six attire or full formal wear.
You know,
The tuxedo and gown...
With announced arrivals done.

Only for one purpose...
To exchange a basic human-ness.
Prior to the debate of any decision one makes.
