Exit List Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Everything a good life lived to mean,
And sought by those seeking...
A happiness for themselves that is wished,
As defined by their own interpretation of it...
Seems to be disappearing,
On a hidden and authorized exit list.
To prioritize with a slow doing done.
With a preparing everyone to do their best,
Since less to address...
Is there for everyone to come.

Suspicions arrive to minds and quick,
As to how and why...
An implementation of this began to exist.
Some point to the feasting of greed,
And an abundance of isolated selfishness.
Advocated by those who feel,
Their best interests no longer entitles them...
That quality of life as a benefit connected to it.
And very few are honest to admit the cause,
Has indebted them to debits and the depth of unpaid debts.
