Is It Necessary
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
People who purposely go out of their way.
To lie on others in churches.
And to relatives.
Also friends to believe them to deceive.
With a meaning intended meant to do it.
Then call themselves 'Christians'?
Whenever convenient.
Portraying self righteousness done displayed!
'Uh...
Is that a statement or a question.
Is there more you're going to say?
Are you awaiting for my response?
Or...
Should I know not to interrupt,
These personal conversations.
You at times have with yourself?'
Do whatever you feel is necessary.
If you think it's necessary.
'Okay.
I understand.
Here is the money and tip for the waiter.
I'll pay for lunch.
I am going to the restroom.
And if you don't see me come back out.
Know I left through an opened window.
