Too High To Climb

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)

The only mountain,
Found too high to climb.
Represents just another obstacle,
People turn away.
To find a molehill of excuses.
Found to make,
More of them to refuse.
A using of their minds to use and imagine,
The removing from themselves...
Any and all opposition,
Thought to believe is a negative attempt...
To prevent them from moving forward.
That mountain to face is no different,
Than whatever it is...
Most attempt to look the other way.
If it should involve reality and the truth of it!
Whether they do,
To delude, fiction and deny.
