Of A Life One Lives Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

One with kept purpose,
And focused with determination...
Motivated by initiative,
Is seldom searching to seek...
Opinions given to find the meaning,
Of a life one lives to choose it chosen.
Or which path one takes to eliminate,
The facing of obstacles.
Obstacles already shown.
Although to others to have been unknown.

Or a needed direction from anyone to explain,
The consequences to expect the effects.
One has accomplished with tears and sweat.
Regardless of what others may wish,
That a purpose one has be abandoned.
To change for another decision to make.
More appropriate for the climate.
Since one with a kept purpose to keep,
Isn't one who solicits fear.
Or unwarranted beliefs of impossibilities,
Too many expect and accept to hear...
From wherever they gather to share,
A collection of the latest threats...
They've been sold to reveal to themselves,
As precious as good credit and fresh debts.

One with kept purpose,
And focused with determination...
Motivated by initiative,
Is seldom searching to seek...
Opinions given to find the meaning,
Of a life one lives to choose it chosen.
Away from pretentions to charade to impress.
Or which path to take to eliminate,
The facing of obstacles.
Obstacles already shown to others unknown,
Preferring more to value excuses to use...
As if to validate the ease,
In which the doing of it...
Is accepted.
