Until Some Rules To Us Have Come Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Until some rules to us have come,
And understood by 'everyone'...
Under the Sun,
Will there then be a need to exchange...
Respect for all,
Without the name calling.
Or the playing of games.
Knowing that a thoughtfulness given...
Is returned as expected.
With a respect that is the same reflected.

Until all our moods that we carry,
Are dismissed and diffused...
And released are those conflicting attitudes,
Shall we then have a reason to obey and say...
The direction we all are headed towards,
Affords brighter days to come to stay.

Too many of us have so much we distrust,
Those promising yesterdays of hope and joy...
Seem to have drifted away from us betrayed.

Until some rules ti us have come,
And happiness experienced is a wish for everyone...
There will be no one to witness a life to fully rejoice.
Or decide to gather fulfillment with one voice,
If the choice that is made indicates there is a decay...
Of love!
