Speculations

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Speculations.
Assumptions made.
And 'reliable' allegations.
Are just what they.
To stay and create sensations to make.
For the purpose to spread,
Gossip and rumors about.
Without evidence or proof of facts.
Today?
Common sense to use,
No longer is a tool for that.
Common sense to use,
Does not stimulate as deception does.
Or has witnessed to be as effective,
As lies told to market and sell well.

Never ending is the addicting crave.
Leaving many living their lives,
Prioritized to value...
The possibilities of the 'could ofs' and 'ifs'.
To exist with...
Speculations.
Assumptions made.
And allegations to create life,
More exciting than the reality of it is.
To love and live.
Without the threat of truth.
Heard to hear close and near,
Making attempts to interfere.

With very few,
Unknown to be sending invitations!
For truth to appear at anytime.
Any hour of day or night.
In masquerade.
Or by any other means necessary.
To share the latest,
Of what has been found to be discovered.

RVSP!
Bring guests.
