Remaining Unchanged And Envied
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Unchanged to remain.
Those same old games.
Played for no gain.
Staying to please the people.
Enjoying reliving sequels of the past.
Unchanged.
Are those same played games.
Staying to please the people.
Hoping to want it wished,
A past to reminisce it...
Forever will last.
Keeping a future kept to hold back,
Like that...
Has more benefits for them to get.
If...
Everyone refuses and objects,
To a future left alone.
As is.
Done to do.
Detached.
Will attract more out of their minds to find,
Themselves...
Envied.
Ignorant and envied.
Left alone.
Ignorant and envied.
On their own.
Ignorant and envied.
Yet not to know,
This is condoned.
Unchanged to remain,
Ignorant.
To believe,
Themselves envied.
To believe,
Themselves envied.
To believe,
Themselves envied!
