Goodwill People
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Goodwill people.
Got to stay aware,
To know themselves distrusted.
Everywhere they go to perceive them,
Not about peace.
Everywhere they go to believe them to be,
Dishonest.
Because of a faith they claim,
Is fact not to have it fictioned.
Or keep their faith to fool others to deceive.
There are goodwill people.
Here and not afraid to stay up.
Even in the midst of negativity around us.
Those of goodwill know we have had,
Enough.
Evil to be leaving more evil.
Is not goodwill.
To have it spread,
To our families.
With this to spread,
To our neighbors.
Done to spread,
To the ones we call friends.
Evil to be leaving more evil.
Is not healthy.
Even those with status and wealth,
Can be observe to witness not immuned!
Goodwill people.
Got to remain aware.
What they do these days is needed.
And they've got stay aware.
With doing to erase all evil.
Here, there and everywhere.
From the minds deceived.
Here, there and everywhere.
From minds deceived!
