Pity Makes Those Visits Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Everyday you have to pray,
If you want a life to be lived right.
Everyday.

And everyday you have to do it in a way,
To make those loose ends tight.
Without a struggle or fight.

You want a life that's easy pleasing.
Without discipline or meaning.
Without work or sweat involved.
With your troubles quickly solved.

You wish your dreams to come alive.
While you sit and analyze...
Why others seem to have such luck!
And all you have is whining time.
With pity making visits in your mind.
That's all you want,
There to fine.

Everyday you have to pray,
If you want a life to be lived right.
Everyday.

And everyday you have to do it in a way,
To make those loose ends tight.
Without a struggle or fight.

But pity makes those visits in your mind.
All the time.
And all you wish to do is sit...
And analyze.
Why you ain't gotta dime.

And pity makes those visits in your mind.
All the time.

And all you wish to do is sit...
And analyze.
With thin dimes on your mind!

As pity makes those visits in your mind.
Without a thin dime to find!

As pity makes those visits...
You don't want to quit,
In your mind.
Without a thin dime to find!

Pity makes those visits you don't want to quit,
Sitting in your mind!
All the time!
