If an existence to live a commercialized life,
As a valued standard is a needed addicting wish.
And the possessing of it diminishes in reality,
To become recognized as a foolishness...
As is currently observed by the many awakening.
How stable are those entitlements?
When the raising of one's consciousness,
Begins to assess kept traditions...
As a means to keep one mentally limited.
How stable are those entitlements?
If an existence to live a commercialized life,
Is insisted with resources disappearing overnight.

Lawrence S. Pertillar
