Out Of Reach
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Living to destroy,
The chosen life to live of others.
Does not make the lives,
Of those who choose this done to do...
Proving not to lose,
A life they live to witness it getting better.
Than the way of life to live by those,
Choosing to destroy themselves!
In the process to believe it progress.
By mindless acts.
With a movement producing,
Just the facts
Nolonger hidden to fiction.
Ignored to mention.
Or kept protected in minds,
To delude...
The better of times are yet to come.
For those addicted to a living of doing...
Meaningless foolish things to impress.
While drugged up on visions of power.
Wishing to possess what is out of reach.
Distant and out of touch from reality.
But kill some will to make real the dream.
