I can not stay around, <br />Those good mood killers. <br />With their targets set, <br />Aimed to induce a producing of negativity. <br />And doing their best to squeeze, <br />Every remnant of freshness... <br />Welcomed with a pleasantness, <br />In once peace filled air. <br /> <br />I can not stay around, <br />Those who bemoan their lives... <br />With sustained groaning sounds. <br />To droan on and on, <br />As if their selfish thoughtlessness... <br />Is found to be discovered as a priceless gift. <br />And valued as a one of a kind bargain. <br /> <br />I can not stay around, <br />Those good mood killers. <br />Not if I seek to keep my peace and happiness intact. <br />And I have earned that.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
