Perception Fascinates Imaginations Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Perception fascinates imaginations.
Even when the presenting of the facts,
Have been revealed.
Perceptions marketed to hype and sell,
Or rumored to whisper from mouth to mouth...
Do well when minds fantasized spread them about.

The rich have no problems they have to fix.
Perceptions like this continue to exist.
The poor are less ambitious.
And those living in poverty to penny pinch,
Their realities experiencing homelessness...
Do it without dignity or pride to swallow.
And those choosing to explore and adventure life,
Are drifters who are misfits...
Seeking to refuse what is 'normal' to abuse it.

And those livng in urban centers are committed,
To accept diversity...
Do so because they have found it cheaper,
Than those living to impress...
With their possessions kept.
To believe they have achieved an 'exclusivity'.

Perception fascinates imaginations.
Even when the presenting of the facts,
Have been revealed.
Perceptions marketed to hype and sell,
Or rumored to whisper from mouth to mouth...
Do well when minds fantasized spread them about.

However...
Those who seem to live happy stress free lives,
Do this without it being perceived to imagine.
Or look for ways to impress others,
With a keeping of a peace of mind they have received.
Only those in a rat race continue to chase delusions.
