Trespassing Actions Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The road is clearly,
Blocked with flashing warning signs.
WARNING: DO NOT PASS.
If attempted your efforts to endeavor,
Will bring those a suffering.
That promises to last!

Many take unnecessary steps.
To the extreme.
For no other reason but to test,
Messages delivered to prevent regrets.

And the suffering that warns,
Of consequences to pay.
For a lifetime to feel.
If refusing to obey,
A reality not to delude it.
Since the affects felt will be painful.
Promising to come.
But from it not to heal.

Yet...
Like children who are warned,
Not to do what is done again.
There are those who seek to prove,
The hearing to be warned...
Is a listening to this they will not do.

So...
They trespass with actions taken,
Into a danger zone.
Finding themselves...
Deep in 'forget-me-not' anguish.
And a sobering fear,
Preventing them to run...
Away from the enormity,
Of misdeeds they've done!

Screaming...
"But,
I didn't do anything wrong."

Listening to hear screams to go ignored,
Are the ones not to trespass.
The ones taught lessons to learn.
And the ones not to test,
Just for the attention to get...
To live a life regretting it!
