Analysis of Uniquely Different
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Uniquely different.
Times like these.
Are uniquely different.
Who is it these days we live,
Attempting to reclaim a normalcy.
Regardless of the resistance,
Uniquely different.
Times like these.
Over what is power to grab, have and get?
To believe it kept to keep.
Over what that changes to evolve,
Never remaining the same.
As if fixed maintained in steel cemented.
Not a tool can be used,
That can prevent...
What we all are going through.
Observed to be witnessed.
Without permission to ask of it given!
Uniquely different.
Times like these.
Attempting to reclaim a normalcy,
Or a past to have had it...
Will not return,
To appease those with wishes.
Done to ease their breath to breathe.
There is not a tool that can be used,
To stop and prevent...
What we all are going through.
Observe to witness,
On this Earth we inhabit...
As temporary visitors.
The only thing we can do,
Is feel grateful for the blessing.
Without make demands,
To rule with power and preferences to have.
And over what then to do?
When our visit ends not to last.
There is no power greater,
Than our Creator God has!
Observe this to witness.
