The Different Twigs On Rooted Trees Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The different twigs on rooted trees,
If noticed...
Expands concepts of possibilities,
If approached...
With an opened mind.

If one accepts the meaning of consciousness,
Life given to live will display...
An array of qualities,
Humanity blesses us to receive.

This Universe beholds many complexities,
Out of our control.
Although we demand with selfishness,
To insist we can rule and suppress...
What we choose and refuse what is detested!
Feeding a continuum of conflict and unrest.

A divine design,
More complexed than our self centeredness...
Is not blinded by the fuss we make as specks of dust.
It knows we leech disrespectfully.
It knows we show an ungratefulness...
With beliefs our insignificance,
Is the cause and effect of the 'heavens' progress.
And 'not' the creators of upsetting conflicts and diseases,
Left!
Like pests.
And not the self righteous 'saviors' professed!

A divine design,
More complexed than our self centeredness...
Is not blinded by the fuss we make as specks of dust.
It knows we leech disrespectfully.
It knows we show an ungratefulness...
With beliefs our insignificance,
Is the cause and effect of the 'heavens' progress.

The different twigs on rooted trees,
If noticed...
Expands concepts of possibilities,
If approached...
With an opened mind.

However...
Too many of those are still enclosed,
In shells too hard!
And too thick to birth from the surface to bloom!
