Significant And Severe Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

No more will it be,
Back to business as usual.
More to focus,
On money, the economy and greed.

A teaching of a lesson.
Significant and severe.
Nears in May to make it clear,
Without respect to give first to humanity.
No one survives without happiness in their lives.
Or threats made to protect,
The value of things.
Eventually discovering,
The meaningless these things valued brings.
To life. Fragile and much more precious.

Frightening.
A life taking fast paced disease.
Randomly spreading.
Indiscriminately.
Throughout the World and diverse communities.
And yet...
Mind enlightening.
For the many left to witness the dawn.
With eyes opened wider than ever before.
Knowing they have been blessed and bestowed...
To receive another opportunity to release.
Letting go.
Of division.
Conflicts to create them.
And the pettiness of their childish ignorant ways!
