Nearly Impossible Critical Tasks
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Nearly impossible,
Have become these critical tasks:
Avoiding to stay away from rumors.
Or gossip to hear heard.
Left to leave without them to pass.
Making attempts made,
To mind one's own business.
Even behind doors locked and closed.
There will be someone who finds a way,
To leave a note.
Describing who did what to do.
But the urgency of it.
If ignored to choose,
Is not recommended if one chooses to!
And protecting one's...
Precious peace of mind.
Kept to have earned.
Prayed to receive it without going crazed.
These...
Mind to flip out days.
Is among the many critical tasks.
Those conscious enough.
To know...
Enough of the nonsense to live it,
Of it they have had enough.
'Wow.
This is unbelievable.
You have no idea,
How glad I ran into you.'
'Yeah.
It has been awhile.
What's going on?'
'I am tired of the lies told and rumors.
Nothing anyone says can be believed.
I can't walk a few feet from my door.
Without feeling I am being stalked,
By someone constantly.
And all I want to do,
Is to mind my own business peacefully.'
'I understand that.
Trust me.'
'That's great to hear.
So happy I am you said that.
Listen up.
You know when I use to lie?
And spread ridiculous rumors?'
'Yes I do.
And finally you have accepted,
God in your life.
To forgive those wicked misdeeds.'
'Whatever!
Anyhow...
You won't believe who I saw,
Together again...
After divorcing years ago.
To get back together?
And both of them had cheated,
With one of your ex-lovers.'
'I can't believe this.
God?
What is it that I have done,
To deserve this?'
'Tell me about it.
God is good.
And think about this too.
If I had not seen you...
I would be somewhere else.
Minding my own business.
