Reaching Even Deeper Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Many had not bothered,
But have lots to say...
About the stench of garbage,
Tossed around today.
And there's no doubt about it,
Everybody will pay...
From their pockets stocked with gloom.
To be reaching even deeper,
From those pockets of gloom.
Whether liking it or not but not a moment is it stopped,
This reaching for gloom!
And there's no doubt about the people who are making room,
For a seeking to be reaching even deeper...
As if the doing feeds a selfish need,
To do!
As if the doing feeds a selfish need,
To prove...
The reaching even deeper can be done!

Many had not bothered,
But have lots to say...
About the stench of garbage,
Tossed around today.
And there's no doubt about it,
Everybody will pay...
From their pockets stocked with gloom.
To be reaching even deeper,
From those pockets of gloom.
As if the doing feeds a selfish need,
To prove...
The reaching even deeper can be done!
