Analysis of People Ought To Meet
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
People ought to meet.
And agree.
Together they have similarities.
Done to breathe.
In and out.
Through their noses and mouths.
With no one yet to witness,
This isn't true to lie about.
Living East.
Living West
North or South.
Above nor below any border.
People ought to meet.
And see.
For however long the doing may take be.
Coming together.
With opened eyes.
And not deny.
This place is called,
The United States.
Too many have their minds on the same thing.
Complaints and blaming.
Their aches and pains.
On others to accuse them,
For their grief unchanged!
Yet not together to stand on their feet.
And refuse,
To be defeated.
By division and hypocrisies.
Done to use,
This to accuse...
By ones they follow,
To abuse and deceive...
Them all.
Left to fight and be defeated.
Them all.
Left to fight each other.
And, be defeated.
Them all.
Left to fight and be defeated.
Them all.
Left to fight each other.
And, be defeated.
But if we stood,
Standing tall.
Together we could not,
Stumble to fall.
Or...
Be the people left defeated.
Over aches.
And pains.
On others to accuse,
Why ours lives remain unchanged.
We must awaken and believe it.
The truth as it is.
Without it fictioned to deceive.
The truth,
As it is.
We must awaken and believe it.
Truth as it is.
Without it fictioned to deceive!
Living East.
West.
North or South.
Whether or not to cross borders.
Knowing justice and the laws,
Keeping ourselves the ones in order!
Like we 'oughtah'.
People ought to meet.
With similiarities.
Met to greet and not deceive.
To create disorder!
As if to believe...
That we 'oughtah'!
On demand by request...
Each other slaughtered!
