Analysis of Thoughtless Is a Thoughtlessness Missed
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Over and over,
You repeatedly say the same thing.
About no one caring enough to listen.
Or no one is there for you,
When you want to express...
Your point of view and how you feel.
And that is not the reason,
Why you are ignored.
'Then, what is it?'
You never say or do anything,
We are interested in.
'But...
I am there for you.
And sometimes awakened,
By an urgent call to discover not urgent at all.
To listen, care and express my interest.
And never had said no time did I have to care.'
That's you!
We are not here,
To debate or discuss our thoughtlessness.
It has been your thoughtlessness,
That has been brought to our attention!
'Something has been lost in action.
And gone.
Nolonger again...
To be identified as a priority kept to value.'
You can say that from now on.
However...
If respect is not there to have it,
Who...
Apparently not you,
Is going to know or be aware of it missing?
'You don't get it!'
Duh!
As if we don't know that.
And in denial of our own ignorance.
'Thoughtless is a thoughtlessness,
Only those thoughtful witness to observe.'
True.
And validated to be witnessed and observed,
Right here it is...
In fantastic,
Living to admit their absence of it...
With no sign of remorse or regret.
Yet...
Awaiting our forgiveness to give it.
Calm down.
You are among Christians!
Patriots.
And loyal devotees of our kept beliefs!
'It would be pointless without purpose,
To expect from you...
Comprehension, understanding.
Or common sense understood to know...
What that meant to use.'
Come on.
Get over it.
Staying petty,
Does not a good impression make.
And I am sure of all people,
You have heard that said before.
'Impossible it is to awaken,
Fools who refuse to disbelieve they are still...
In a deep comatosed sleep!'
