If You Build It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'If you build it they will come.'
Has always been a statement made,
By those with beliefs...
They know what is best for everyone.
And when this building to be done,
Becomes abandoned to leave...
By the ones who run from such dumb deeds,
Those who believe what they build...
Will leave all pleased,
Are left not to understand...
Wishes and wants of others to ignore,
Is not good business...
If it is desired,
For paying patrons with an interest kept...
To keep doors of a business open.
