Fun And Time To Waste Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why be in it not to finish,
A starting from the beginning...
For a result that is wished.
Why be in it not to finish,
A doing done to leave it...
Unaccomplished.
Why be in it not to witness,
A dream that is wanted to see come true.
Why be in it just to run,
For the ease of wasting time to choose.

People want their fun,
And time to waste.
People everyday say,
They would love to taste their favorite cake.
People want their dreams to come,
But will not take advice.
To live a life right.
People enjoy doing what they like.
But sacrificing to get what is wished,
Few have this prioritized...
At the top of their list.

Why be in it not to finish,
A starting from the beginning...
For a result that is wished.
Why be in it not to finish,
A doing done to leave it...
Unaccomplished.
Why be in it not to witness,
A dream that is wanted to see come true.
Why be in it just to run,
For the ease of wasting time to choose.

People want their fun,
And time to waste.
People everyday say,
They would love to taste their favorite cake.
To then complain how long it takes...
While criticizing the baker,
Who is not only patient but also tolerates...
Those awaiting the cake to eat,
But refuse to develop the expertise...
With time to learn to make their own.

Fun and time to waste,
Seldom achieves what one wishes.
When fun and time to waste is attempted,
With expectations...
That dreams to get without initiative,
Can be demanded as an entitlement.
Without sweat involved or desire in the mix.
