Something Positive Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Only those who choose to stay upset,
By a point of view they find offends them...
Should reflect more upon the years,
The doing they've selected to get accomplished...
Has not for several decades begun to take effect.
But yet...
Offended they stay with themselves in the way,
To prove a doing they can stay upset...
By a truth they refuse to accept and correct,
A decision they have made to take those steps.
But for decades has gone neglected.

'Why is it you always seem,
To have something negative to say? '

~If I had not seen,
What was on the other side of that wall...
I too would feel offended.
If I had never experienced it,
To know that the tearing it down...
Would make it easier for people to get around.~

'But that is your experience.
Many of us are accustom to deadends.
With a love for a wall that stalls.'

~And I've begun to notice.
That's why on you I've removed my focus.~

'At tleast you've begun to do something positive.'
