Analysis of Nothing Can Be Dropped To Stop
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Nothing can be dropped to stop.
What one does done do to start.
From birth blessed given God's approval.
Nothing what is naturally,
To perceive by others easily to do.
They can not duplicate or be repeated.
Yet this is tried day and night to defy,
A wheel to create it even better.
Yet this is tried to deny what is seen,
What is pioneered and introduced...
Can use a tweek or twist that proves,
Improving on it will one day...
Will give someone else credit too.
But not for what they did.
To dupe, deceive and trick,
Many honoring their ability to address,
Impressions made to make them.
And that is kept.
With a credit to them given.
To say they achieved success.
With a credit to them given.
And...
That is kept.
To hear them claim,
How long they sacrificed their time.
Blood, sweat and tears.
And that they may have done.
But not as one who had been the pioneer!
Nothing can be dropped to stop.
Nothing can be dropped to stop.
Nothing can be dropped to stop,
To prove who did what done to pioneer.
In time.
With time.
Nothing can be dropped to stop,
To prove who did what done to pioneer.
In time.
With time.
Proving who shed blood.
And their sweat with tears,
Born to do it...
Throughout the years!
