Lawrence S. Pertillar - Change Your Perceptions

Change your perceptions.
And get rid of that list of preferences.
Focus upon the landscape with widened eyes.
Leave those fantasies for those who lie to themselves.
Adapt to adjust to the truth one today 'must'.
Or find yourself disgusted like others,
Believing the feeding on greed will return...
With a getting respect from those most impressed,
That you will do 'anything' to remain in debt...
Like they have done to delude,
Happiness can be obtain...
By what one possesses and can afford to get.
Change your perceptions.
And get rid of that list of preferences.
Focus upon the landscape with widened eyes.
Leave those fantasies for those who lie to themselves.
Adapt to adjust to the truth one today 'must'.
Or find yourself disgusted like others,
Believing the feeding on greed will return...
With a getting respect from those most impressed.
Choose not to be that stupid.
Choose to do what for YOU is best!

Lawrence S. Pertillar
