Quick We Are To Say Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

During lives we come to live,
There are many we don't see.
Even though we share,
The passing of cast shadows.

Everyday there is,
Opportunities to meet.
But our eyes just look away,
While walking upon the streets.

Few stop to say, 'Hello how are you today? '
Or care to know,
Who feels...
As we do!

During lives we come to live,
There are many we don't see.
Even though we share,
The passing of cast shadows.

And...
We don't dare to bother to ask,
How one feels.
Or...
Dare to smile to greet,
When we pass.

But...
Quick we are to say,
Kiss my...!
As if that was a favorite task,
Mastered...
In a class.

Everyday there is,
Opportunities to meet.
But our eyes just look away,
While walking upon the streets.

Few stop to say, 'Hello how are you today? '
Or care to know,
Who feels...
As we do!

During lives we come to live,
There are many we don't see.
Even though we share,
The passing of cast shadows.

We choose,
Instead...
To be rude.
