These Lines Are Set Up For 'state Of Minds' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The hazard of their staggerings,
Brings this awareness to attention.
Many folks have found themselves broke!
And feeling busted to the gut...
Is not for them a joke.

Who pulled the plug,
That has sucked them into this!
'Hey! ' They say, 'This should not be us.
This should be 'them'.
We thought we were insured to have security.
Now we are no more than vagrants...
To our lost and vaporizing, dissipating whims! '

~Sir...
I believe you have found yourself, In the wrong line! ~

'But I am in the 'P' line.'

~These lines are set up for 'state of minds'.
You need to stand over there,
Under 'I' for 'Intellectuals'.
In that line you can quote with the others.
And feel just fine.~
