There Is Nothing Like An Observation Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

How I know today times have changed?

People no longer laugh,
When they believe they have those 'things'...
That those who have not will never get!

Now today those who did not 'have',
What others 'had' and laughed...
Are less concerned,
About having their 'things' repossessed.
Like those with their noses,
High above their puffed up chests.

Or having their precious pretentions devalued,
Like those who used the have nots...
To validate the purpose of their foolishness.

How I know today times have changed?
There is nothing like an observation,
That details a bringing to another their reality.
