My Only Wish To Want
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
My only wish to want is you.
Me and others too.
To wish and want us all to do.
Is to choose one choice to raise our voices,
High and loud enough to be heard.
Done to have it shown and known,
Together we gathered unafraid to say...
There has to be a better way to achieve,
Peace!
Without,
Division.
Racism and bigotry.
To accept as a direction to receive,
A quality of life.
These conflicting tumultuous days,
Inflicting to disease and separate...
So many in ways to remain to stay,
Believing to what to them has been told.
And not bold to open wider their eyes,
To observe it witnessed for themselves...
Truth deceived hidden purposely,
Is nowhere near to appear threatening...
Those behind shut and isolated closed doors.
But inside those closed doors.
Where rumors are created.
And lies celebrated to spread more chaos.
To wish and it wanted to get!
My only wish to want is you.
Me and others too.
Is to stop listening to the few.
Doing what they have done to do,
To create havoc to have it spread...
Fiction to delude minds unused in heads.
That has caused,
The epidemic of mental illness everywhere!
