It is time to wrap up all the nonsense folks, <br />And doing away with all pronounced pretentiousness. <br />Many will find this difficult to do. <br />But the doing of it, <br />Can be done by anyone. <br /> <br />If we all grew and accepted maturity as a goal to reach, <br />No one would be provoked... <br />By the existence of truth spoken to speak. <br />Nor those who prefer it as a part of life to live, <br />Without their declarations offending anyone. <br /> <br />It is time to wrap up all the nonsense folks, <br />And doing away with all pronounced pretentiousness. <br />Many will find this difficult to do. <br />But the doing of it can be done by anyone, <br />Who decides truth is not a difficult pursuit. <br /> <br />Using one's own excuses and alibis to distance, <br />To deliberately accuse others of abuse... <br />Is as old as a pair, <br />Of comfortable but worn out soleless shoes. <br />To look good only for the sake of appearances.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
