'Things' To Rate That Relates Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'Things' given symbolic status,
And valued higher with a standard...
Above that of a human being,
There is going to be a failure that unravels...
On these scenes that demean.

Finding justification,
To denounce one's way of life...
As another depicted as glorious,
Entertains a destruction without insight.

'Things' to rate that relates to material needs,
Blinds all who become focused...
On greed and the success of hypocrisy.
So blind they are they forget humanity.

And people easily duped in believing,
They can actually purchase integrity...
Find they become eventually used and abused,
By foolish yet followed mindless philosophies.

'Things' to rate that relates to material needs,
Blinds all who become focused...
On greed and the success of hypocrisy.
So blind they are they forget humanity.

Finding justification,
To denounce one's way of life...
As another depicted as glorious,
Entertains a destruction without insight.

'Things' given symbolic status,
And valued higher with a standard...
Above that of a human being,
There is going to be a failure that unravels...
On these scenes that demean.
