Is This What You Choose? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Is This What You Choose?



Why have you submitted and condoned,
Defeat.
And why have you refused to see it,
As company.
To keep!
And not to leave.

Tell me why have you submitted and condoned,
Defeat.
Why is it you refused to see it,
As company.
To keep!
And not to leave.

Is this what you choose?
Is this what you want?
Is this what you feel,
Is...
Something that's needed.
Something that you want to feed,
To be fed?

Why have you submitted and condoned,
Defeat.
And why have you refused to see it,
As company.
To keep!
And not to leave.

Tell me,
Is this what you choose?
Tell me,
Is this what you want?
Tell me,
Is this what you feel,
Is...
Something that's needed.
Something that you want to feed,
To be fed?

Is this what you choose?
Is this what you want?
Is this what you feel,
Is...
Something that's needed.
Something that you want to feed,
To be fed?

Why have you submitted and condoned,
Defeat.
And why have you refused to see it,
As company.
To keep!
And not to leave.

Is this what you choose?
Why can't you tell me...
Is this what you want,
As company...
To keep,
And not to leave?
