Mystifying It Can Be Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Mystisfying it can be.
And it is!
This life...
To love to live or dislike,
Will have...
Its ups and downs with changes.
And this life...
To love to live or dislike,
Never stays the same...
No matter who claims it.

Mystifying it can be.
And it is!
Love comes.
Love goes.
A love that stays forever,
Has yet to be bestowed.
And this life...
Is given so we'll grow.
Even though some people may,
Do it too slow.

Mystifying it can be.
And it is!
Some live to fight.
Some live for peace.
And some choose not to open doors,
In fear from them to leave.
And it hurts,
To come to distrust neighbors...
Believing they'll deceive us,
With this kept to perceive.

Mystifying it can be.
And it is!
Why people claim a reason,
To demonstrate...
A hatred shown to others,
Without it erased.
And it hurts,
To know this is true...
That some people who live,
Have been taught this to do.

Mystifying it can be.
And it is!
Love comes.
Love goes.
A love that stays forever,
Has yet to be bestowed.
And this life...
Is given so we'll grow.
But many are the people...
Stuck between a hatred and love.
So many people,
Stuck between a hatred and love.
Too many people,
Will choose to hate and fight against love.
And why do people,
Think they can have peace without love.
