More Than Not
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Religion and its politics,
Today no longer represent the people.
To defend.
The people to defend.
Religion and its politics,
Seem mixed together to offend the people.
To offend.
The people to offend.
Closed once opened doors,
Welcoming those poor.
Are only opened now for the rich.
Closed once opened doors,
Welcoming the poor.
Are only opened now,
For who can afford to profit...
Off an image thought has benefits.
More than not.
Today more than not,
Is the value of what people possess.
To confess it.
More than not.
Much more these days than not,
Is the value of what people possess.
To impress.
It addressed!
It's more about things.
More than not.
It's more about the bling of things.
It is,
More about things.
More than not.
Today it's about the things,
That...
Blindly 'bling'!
