Getting Things Done
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Getting things done.
Takes...
A willingness to listen.
And a willingness to let,
Common ground to find.
Getting things done.
Takes...
An opened mind.
A mind not confined.
To preset conditions.
Nothing wanted to get done,
Is one-sided.
Nothing wanted to get done,
Has already been...
Decided by some.
Arguments debated waste time.
Arguments to win undermines,
The need to get anything done.
Witness.
Who it is,
Benefits.
Just witness.
What happens after arguments.
Witness.
Who it is,
That benefits.
Just witness.
What happens after arguments.
With a proving of a nothing done.
Getting things done.
Takes...
A willingness to listen.
With a mission to comprehend,
For what it is to do.
And for who to get things done!
Eliminate the politics.
And religious beliefs.
If what is being done,
Benefits all people.
Why are not the people the priority.
Why not,
Are the people the priority!?
Eliminate the politics.
And religious beliefs.
If decisions made are for all people.
Why are the people the last to believe it.
If decisions made will benefit all people.
Why are many people still in disbelief?
Observing childish conflicts wanted won.
