Our Wants And Needs Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Delusion to accept.
And truth to ignore to reject.
Can make a mind much too fragile.
With a dependency on medications to avoid,
Reality for what it is.
Although...
The door is wide open.
Left to leave possibilities,
Of the need to update and renovate reality.
To give it that amusement park 'feel'.
For the purpose and reason to ensure,
The explanation to charge higher entrance fees.
Leaving this to understand,
Will only be a temporary inconvenience.
Since plans not set in stone,
May change.
However...
Those higher entrance fees to charge,
Will not.

"But...
What about the amusement park? "

What amusement park?

"The one you just mentioned seconds ago."

Oh...
That one?

"Yes."

Well...
First we have to collect the entrance fees,
That gives us a concrete reason to build it.
We're attempting a different way,
To satisfy our wants and needs.

"Excuse me,
But...
Don't you mean our wants and our needs? "

I just said that.
