Was This Meant To Intend Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
Many people living in deep sorrow.
This wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
Our children left with no tomorrows.
To pay a price they didn't cause.

It wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
Threats everywhere to expect.
This wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
Leaders showing but disrespect.
It wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
Broken hearts crushed into pieces.
As corruption more today increases.

This wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
To everyone.
Just to do it done.
This wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
To everyone.
Just to do it done.

But why would the people live this way,
Duped.
And why would the people live this way,
Tricked.
But why would the people disbelieve,
The truth to be fools.

This wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
To everyone.
And not just some.

But why would the people live this way,
Duped.
And why would the people live this way,
Tricked.
Why would the people disbelieve.
Why would the people disbelieve.
Why would the people disbelieve the truth,
To be fooled!
