Letting The Nonsense Go
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
We can't.
Smother to end our animosities.
Too addicted we have become.
To sorrows borrowed and pain to barter,
In exchanged for blame to claim.
And where it can be left to place.
We can not peacefully fall asleep.
Too creative are the threats we make.
Fearing a letting the nonsense go,
Will suddenly lose its valuable time.
In our minds unable to get more tormented.
More twisted and demented.
More crazed, abused and sickened.
To appease our desired wishes,
For more conflict and self inflicting anguish.
We can't.
Find peace.
Without stripping it into pieces.
To achieve the feeling of being victorious!
And then begin we do,
Seeking who to choose as the next enemy.
With a proving of a doing it done.
Letting the nonsense go.
With a proving of a doing it done.
Letting the nonsense go.
With a proving of a doing it done!
