It Would Not Exist! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who put that there?

'They did.'

They 'who'?

'Them.'

Them 'Who'?

'Those who wanted it there.'

Then why are you complaining?

'I don't want it there.
It's in my way.'

Then why don't you get rid of it?

'It's none of my business.'

Then 'they' or 'them' aren't the only ones...
Seeking to have it stay the way it is!
If you did not welcome it,
It would not exist!

And that is the reason there are many conflicts.
People have grown tired of accepting 'that'...
Which for them they wish removed.
And 'them' and 'those' who put it there...
Are being shown their actions are not approved.

So you have had it your way.
By having nothing to do with it!
And you are not alone.
There are many who sit,
Complain and moan!

'And 'where' are you going? '

I am not agonizing my life!
I have chosen to live it.
And 'they' or 'them'...
Are not a part of my vision!
