Where Are The Keepers? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Forgotten are the rules and benefits of love.
Where the keepers?
The true believers?
And...
Decreasing to diminish are the feelings of love.
Where are the keepers?
The ones who claim,
Love is a need.

Hip hoppers and pop rockers got a lot of love...
To groove.
Nonstop in their music.
And the mamas and the poppas,
Once the bobby-soxers...
Had approved.
But...
Where is 'that' love?

Everybody wants it,
But...
Where is 'that' love?

Everybody seeks it,
But...
Where is 'that' love?

Even from the pulpits preachers,
Talk about love.
And people on the streets are looking,
For 'that' love.
No one here would exist,
If it wasn't for love.
But,
Where are the keepers?
And,
The true believers?

Everybody wants it,
But...
Where is 'that' love?

Everybody seeks it,
But...
Where is 'that' love?

Even from the pulpits preachers,
Talk about love.
But,
Where are the keepers?
And,
The true believers?
