Purpose And Distance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Some say,
They don't know 'what' to believe!
While others say,
They have stopped it all together.

And this is sad to witness,
Since efforts of unity with a togetherness...
Seems to drift further away,
In purpose and distance!

And there appears to be an intent to this!
It's unfortunate economics...
Can diminish and divide,
Those who are religious...
From those who say,
They are 'spiritualistic'.

And I can understand,
Both sides of it!
So where does that place me?
As I make attempts,
To keep my own sanity.
With a way of life,
I wish increases my valued peace.

'God,
Are You going to make this someday...
One day as an answer to those prayers I pray,
Easier for me to perceive?
Or...
Are You still going to allow me,
To continue make those choices?
I can understand where You're coming from.
But Gee...
Why all of this materialistic teasing? '
