We Can Turn This All Around Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Minus sadness.
Reduce your madness.
Eliminate the negative...
For a positive return!

Subtract the stresses.
Address the messes.
Add a touch of happiness,
To produce that smile you've earned!

Divided chaos has us at a lost!
It doesn't do one good...
When the bad things keep on happening!
Conflicting wishes increase at such a cost.
And upside down,
Are emotions we've invested!

Minus sadness.
Reduce your madness.
Eliminate the negative...
For a positive return!

Subtract the stresses.
Address the messes.
Add a touch of happiness,
To produce that smile you've earned!

Too many people straining...
To bank on reminiscing pain,
Groaning its existence...
And allowing its persistence.

Too many pinching to regain,
A consciousness sitting...
To stay in times unfitting.

Many wish wanting the same to remain.
And the loud cries heard for change...
Will not stop folks from lamenting,
A past they can't see ending!

Minus sadness.
Reduce your madness.
Eliminate the negative...
For a positive return!

Subtract the stresses.
Address the messes.
Add a touch of happiness,
To produce that smile you've earned!

Or together will we burn...
Without learning we can turn this,
All around!
