Too Easy To Get Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

So many want what they want,
And to get.
Yet...
When asked to give up time to others,
Some protest.

So many want what they want,
And to get.
Yet...
When asked to give up time to others,
They get upset.

Some self-obsessed become possessive,
When easy their wishes are blessed.
And...
Too easy to get are possessions.
Some show a blatant selfishness...
To others with less.

So many want what they want...
And to get.
Yet...
When asked to give up time to others,
Some protest.

So many want what they want,
And to get.
Yet...
When asked to give up time to others,
They get upset.

Some want a reason to do just as they please.
After praying and getting from God.
And...
Some people pray repeatedly to fulfill their needs,
But...
Few will do for others with good deeds.

So many want what they want...
And to get.
Yet,
When asked to give up time to others...
Some protest.
Yet...
Everything they've gotten was from God to get.

Too easy to get are possessions.
And then...
Some show a blatant selfishness.
Yet...
Everything they've gotten was from God to get.
And if it wasn't for God they would not possess.
To prove themselves self-centered and obsessed!
