Can You Do It More
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Can you do it more.
Proven to do it.
You are honest with integrity.
Tell me,
Can you do it...
And more.
Say what you mean have it to believed.
Can you put a stop,
Just to please people.
To hear what they wish.
Just to get their approval.
Can you put a stop,
Of something to do.
That others may not like.
Then talk about you...because you are right!
Can you,
Do this more proven you can do it.
No matter who approves,
How you did it with attitude.
Tell me,
Can you do this.
And still refuse.
Being regarded as someone's fool.
Too many wait to say what they want,
Behind a back like most who do that!
Too many will do nothing,
But whine and moan.
Then come together with each other,
To complain!
About the same old stuff.
Unchanged to remain the same.
About the same old stuff.
Unchanged!
Too many wait to say what should be said.
Can you do it to prove.
You mean just what is said.
Can you do this to prove,
What is heard came from you.
Can you be honest?
Can you be trusted?
Can you be the one who's tough,
When you've had enough.
But in you heart and mind you won't give up!
Although,
Seldom is a sermon heard to preach it,
By those who may listen taking notes.
Actually live the message,
They pass on to other folks!
