Thought Weak
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
There is a reason why people,
Feel a need to accuse.
There is a reason why people,
Find ways to excuse...
And refuse responsibility,
For what they do.
There is a reason why people,
Lie to dupe and cheat.
There is a reason why the people,
Choose to do a doing wrong.
If a doing what's right is thought weak!
Leaving this perception on the brink of defeat.
Like a boxer rope-a-doped.
To knock down on knees.
And listening to the birds that chirp,
Tweet-tweet.
Listening to the birds that chirp.
And...
Listening to the birds that chirp,
Tweet-tweet.
Listening to the birds chirp, JERK!
