Unchanged To Remain

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Where...
Are those vowing to remain the same,
Down to Earth...
Unchanged livers.
Claiming others who have adapted to adjust,
To times this calls for everyone to see as is...
As a must to prioritize.
Are labelled,
Crazed.
And unable to stay mentally grounded.
With a consciousness to observe and witness,
Everything is going through...
Changes to make them.
No one before has prepared for or knew.

Those steadfast down to Earth livers.
Holding on to yesterdays gone.
Hoping to prolong,
A comfort of normalcy to believe...
What has begun to fade away,
Is a temporary inconvenience.
For them one day will soon leave?
Have not accepted to pay attention.
That nothing to exist on Earth,
Including all that inhabits...
The magnificence of this existence,
Can be wished and wanted...
For their preferences chosen to demand.
Done to control and rule over,
What God, The Creator, does to do.

This...
Is not often a choice God chooses to make.
Regardless of the chaos,
Man-made to create.
With this doing to believe,
Fighting amongst themselves...
Will eventually prove,
Self made fools who continue to insist...
A destroying of the Earth.
And all that inhabits it.
Gets them to sit as God's favorites.

While God awaits,
For other suggestions that eliminates...
Future creations.
God promotes yet no one appreciates.
Because God refuses to listen to anyone,
Deciding...
In opposition.
That an Including all colors of the rainbow,
Makes no sense.
If each color is not widely divided,
With obvious emphasis placed...
On highlighting the bright separation.
And undeniable illuminous color of white!
A whiteness without its presence,
Would give no meaning or purpose...
For the pot of gold most rush to behold.
Sitting at the end of it.
To give their dreams,
Much more of a meaning.
That identifies...
Who and what it takes to make,
Their dreams come true!
