Analysis of Making A Big Deal Over Nothing

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



There is no correct response.
To anyone limited in consciousness.
Or incapable to admit,
Their experiences acquired...
Have been restricted to a self centeredness.
And made known to observe it revealed.

What sense is made to waste precious time.
Explaining to anyone aging in mind.
Yet incapable to accept,
Others who respect...
Those who age to grow older.
Although difficult for them to grow up.
With it done to discover,
More there is to living life.
Than it is,
Making attempts to convince them...
That from their point of view,
Many have their's also too.
Without choosing to argue.
To make a big deal over nothing!
