Is It That Kept Specific Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Is it that kept specific,
What it is you feel.
Is it that kept specific,
What for you is real.
Or do you find in your mind,
Changes unexplained all the time.

Are you caught up in politics.
Or the ethics of etiquette.
Do your religious beliefs conflict
With scriptures you quote to forget.
Or...
Are your closest relationships,
Depend upon fresh gossip.
And end they do over pettiness...
Begun by nonsense and foolishness.

Is it that kept specific,
What it is you feel.
Is it that kept specific,
What for you is real.
Or do you find in your mind,
Changes unexplained all the time.
And nothing in your mind remains,
That specific.

If you have a purpose that is claimed to serve,
Why can't you stick with it.
And if you have a purpose that you claim to serve,
Why is it that you end this quick.

If you have a purpose that you claim is served,
How deep is your commitment to it.
And if you have a purpose that is claimed to be served,
Why is not for you kept specific.

If it is 'that' specific,
What it is that is real.
Why can't you stick with it,
To provide you with a kept benefit.
And...
If you have a purpose that you claim is served,
How deep is your commitment to it.
And if you have a purpose that is claimed to be served,
Why is not for you kept specific.
Why is not for you kept specific.
Why is it that your mind changes quick.
