Enthusiastic, Energetic And Peaceful
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Too many sit to pick with determination.
Who it is they will choose to disrespect.
Spending unnecessary waste of time,
Not realizing a focusing their minds...
On demeaning to undermine anyone,
Has dire personal and lasting mental defects.
And this ultimately to regret,
Begins to reflect not an asset at all.
But an illness that has come to sicken,
A self inflicting of their own downfall.
And yet to observe this as time passes on,
The ones to have been chosen...
To be victimized left wounded to accept.
Seem to have had their happiness unaffected.
As if to have been protected,
By showing to others respect not to neglect.
With a remaining to stay.
Choosing to live their lives that way.
Appearing enthusiastic.
Energetic and noticeably peaceful.
Without a negative word,
Heard from them about others to say.
'How can they stay to pretend,
To be so happy?'
'Maybe it is their ability to pretend,
A minding of their own business...
Is a priority for them!
