Undoing The Done
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
No one can undo the done.
To pray it wished,
A different result witnessed comes.
Choosing the best choice,
Is not always the better one to take.
Since there are times like these,
The only thing one should do...
Is to sit and leave the cure to God.
With it to watch and stop a belief,
That what has been broken...
Can be mended to fix,
If they volunteered to get involved.
Not intending to add fuel to a conflict.
But the odds are against,
Good intentions to listen to them.
With others agreeing,
Began with ignorance.
And miraculously...
Their hands begin to join together.
With their voices raised singing praises.
To the one who agitates.
Expressing a philosophy,
That doesn't solve anything but annoys!
