In Need Of A Deep Cleansing Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What is not working,
Has long passed the hour...
Of needing to be fixed.

Whether acknowledging this from a pulpit.
Or soliciting self righteous views...
Through politics,
It makes no difference.

What is not working,
Has long passed the hour...
Of needing to be fixed.

A lack of maturity has overstayed its visit.
Reality, truth and one's perceived existence,
Are not all on the same page as steps to correct.

So many are confused,
And accustomed to being mentally abused...
They refused to remove the veil from their eyes.
With wishes to delude their lives as has been undenied,
As few attempts are made to free and adjust...
Most minds fixed upon temptations and lust.

What is not working,
Has long passed the hour...
Of needing to be fixed.
With a need to be 'real' with it!

Whether acknowledging this from a pulpit.
Or soliciting self righteous views...
Through politics,
It makes no difference.

We...
Are in need,
Of a soul searching done...
That affects the success a deep cleansing gets!
We...
Are in need,
Of deep cleansing.
