Take Two Steps Away From Me Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Receive and contribute,
To the giving of that which is good.
Be appreciative and grateful,
As if with a getting of your blessings...
This becomes a duty and by you understood.

'You know...
I can not begin to have a pleasant day,
Before 'someone' comes along...
Trying to mess it up,
Just after dawn.
It is much too early in the morning,
For me to hear that.
Why don't people like you,
Find another path to cross.'

To know love to give,
Is the ultimate peace.

'Oh yeah?
Well let me tell you a thing or two about love.
I...?
What the...?
Okay.
You playing with me?
You a ventriloquist or something? '

~Brother?
You know...
I can not begin to have a pleasant day,
Before 'someone' comes along...
Trying to mess it up,
Just after dawn.
It is much too early in the morning,
For me to hear that.
Why don't people like you,
Find another path to cross.~

'What's going on? '

~I don't know.
But I strongly suggest.
You take two steps away from me.~
