Glossed Over Cracks Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who is it that says,
Anger has to be shown to accept...
When displayed and felt,
To then have it known?
Where do people owning...
Amusement park season tickets,
Get their beliefs...
To keep such concepts kept perceived?

Just because one doesn't feel another bleeding,
Does not mean the fact of it isn't done.
And a fresh coat of paint,
Glossed over cracks on a wall...
May hide them temporarily.
But the effects will not permanently go undetected.
Or pretentions kept,
Will not prevent them from one day being exposed.

Glossed over cracks have a way of returning back.
To eventually be seen with a peeling away,
With an upsetting of someone...
Unexpecting the event or the expressed obscenities.
Or the cost of the expense,
When such suspense has been revealed.

'We need to go back to investigate,
How these things can happen.'

~To eliminate to deceive?
Or do we pretend with intentions,
That one day all of the defects will be improved? ~

'Whatever decision we make effectively convinces.'
