Keep Focused

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)

Distractions.
Performed in different actions.
And made to take away,
All consciousness to not be missed.
Or remembered to have stayed.

Keep focused.
Your mind.
Keep focused.

Clear out your mind.
Keep it focused.
Your mind.
Keep focused.

Leave them where they are to leave behind.
Those distractions.
Performed in different actions.
All the time.
Those distractions.
Performed in different actions.
In your mind!

Leave them where they are to leave behind
Those distractions.
Performed in different actions.
All the time.
Those distractions.
Performed in different actions.
In your mind.

Clear out your mind.
Keep focused.
Your mind.
Keep it focused.
Your mind.
Keep focused.

Clear out your mind.
Keep focused.
Your mind.
Keep it focused
Your mind.
Keep focused!
