Deluded 'Ifs' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Lost in deluded 'ifs'.
And trying to make sense of it.

Many minds...
Have long,
Been gone.

Lost in deluded 'ifs'.
And distant from admitting this.

Many minds,
Think...
A wrong belongs.

Lost in deluded 'ifs'.
With wishes this brings a benefit.

But many minds,
Have taken too much time...
To disbelieve.

They are,
Lost in deluded 'ifs'.
And trying to make sense of it.

Many minds...
Have long,
Been gone.

Lost in deluded 'ifs'.
And distant from admitting this.

Many minds,
Think...
A wrong belongs.

Gone is stability.
And in walks suspicion.
Where is reality?
When...
It has never been missed,
Or mentioned.
Since...
Fantasies descended.
With...
A purpose of this meant.
Since...
Fantasies descended.
With...
A purpose of this meant.

Lost in deluded 'ifs'.
And distant from admitting this.
Since...
Fantasies descended.
With...
A purpose of this meant.

Lost in deluded 'ifs'.
And distant from admitting this.
Since...
Fantasies descended.
With...
A purpose of this meant.

Gone is stability.
And in walks suspicion.
Where is reality?
When...
It has never been missed,
Or mentioned.
Since...
Fantasies descended.
With...
A purpose of this meant.

And emphasis placed on deluded 'ifs',
As if this benefits.
And...
With an emphasis placed on deluded 'ifs',
As if this benefits.
