Not Only Will This Be A Need Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There is a certain need coming,
To be less thoughtless...
In our assessments expressed,
That affect feelings of others.

There is a consciousness that is shared.
And an unawareness of this is known by many.
But those days are soon to be gone.
With a 'dawning' within us all.
As if a light has been turned on!

And,
Whatever it is we send out to say...
Will boomerang to find its way back to us.
Maybe within minutes.
Maybe within hours.
Or perhaps in days.

There is a certain need coming,
To be less thoughtless...
In our assessments expressed,
That affect feelings of others.

And not only will this be a need.
It will be a wish desired.
