Soon After Given They Forget Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I could never say 'yes',
If my thoughts are 'no'.
Or welcome with a false smile.
If from that someone I wish to go!

I do not carry with me good diplomacy.
Not if within a constant realness breathes.
I choose to sleep peacefully at night.
Without planning who next I can deceive.

I could never say 'yes',
If my thoughts are 'no'.
Or welcome with a false smile.
If from that someone I wish to go!

I see so many pretend who they are not!
So many ask names of others,
They have no intentions to remember.
Or soon after given they forget.
And within seconds...
A name dropped is forgot!

IF I spend five minutes with someone new...
I will remember their name, telephone number...
Age and address too!
Especially if something shared between us,
Leaves us both impressed.
With a date that has been selected,
To get naked next!

Why waste time...
When lust and sex is on everyone's mind!
Even those who profess to be 'Christians'.
With more shared than prayer,
Being touched upon those pews.
I've seen this...
With an eye opener or two!
