Analysis of Who Is Doing What For Who
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Who is doing what for who?
But talk the talk and not walk it.
Listen to the talk on the streets.
Hear people say what it is they need.
As if awaiting,
For home delivery.
Everybody wants it their way.
With a feeling entitled to be obeyed.
But...
Who is doing that and for who to approve.
To rush and please someone else's needs.
Who...
Is doing what for who?
With a talking not to walk it and that's all.
Who are these people today,
With beliefs...
They can receive what is demanded.
Who are these people today,
With their beliefs taught to teach...
They are to be obeyed when demanded.
Who is doing what for who,
To not know truth had.
Who is doing what for who,
To delude and left sad.
There is nothing,
Heard to fiction truth...
From a TV,
Feeds reality.
Talk is worthless if not walked.
Nothing,
Heard to fiction truth...
From a TV,
Feeds reality.
Talk is worthless if not walked to witness,
REALITY!
Who is doing what to do.
And for who?
To delude it fictioned.
Without reality!
People are in need of more reality.
To live and love.
People are in need of truth.
To live it loved.
People are in of honesty.
To get never enough.
With a doing that to do,
To choose!
Never enough.
With it to want and not refuse.
