Unwilling To Sacrifice Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Deluged and soaking in God's wet sweat,
Are those seeking with wishes...
And wants to become nourished.
Encouraged they are by the flow that bestows.
Flourishing to bloom is all they know,
With a seeking to grow.
As all life on Earth is expected to do.
From one step to another...
To appease with proof and to please God's doing.

And yet...
There are those unaccepting,
This to be God's wish.
There are those unaccepting,
They are to grow and not dismiss this.
There are those unaccepting,
They are required to live with a doing to do...
To get done as expected.
But they want more choices presented,
From which they can pick...
With a doing to choose.

Complain they do,
When the Sun heats to afford them opportunities,
To reach and complete those tasks God has asked.
Complain they do,
When the Winter comes to allow then rest.
To nourish upon that which has been harvested.
Complain they do,
Without completing assigned tasks.
And on bended knees to plead...
Yet unwilling to sacrifice,
For those gifts and benefits they are given...
Throughout their selfishly self-centered live lives!
