Gone Is The Sting Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Too many have found themselves,
Behind times that have moved on.
Gone is the sting,
Of protesting against the obvious.
Gone is the accepting of excuses,
Used to prevent a common sense refused.

Too many have found themselves,
Behind times that have moved on.
Meant to permanently exist,
Although meaningless with intent...
Is a purpose to serve,
But nowhere is that purpose heard.

People want this and want that,
To have it delivered while they lay on backs.
People want less stress 'and' success.
But to achieve it to receive,
People wanted it handed from others to get.
To then complain who it is that benefits.

Gone is the sting,
Of protesting against the obvious.
Gone is the accepting of excuses,
Used to prevent a common sense refused.
