Taking a few steps back, <br />To make corrections directed... <br />On one's path to move forward, <br />Makes more sense... <br />Than walking backward on a path, <br />For the purpose to show others... <br />One is pro-active in catching mistakes first, <br />Before they are made... <br />With no corrections needed to be directed, <br />May take a few steps to convince them... <br />Paying attention makes all the difference. <br /> <br />'Who you lookin' at? <br />You gotta problem? ' <br /> <br />~ You're...there is a...~ <br /> <br />'Owwwww....' <br /> <br />~Never mind. <br />Problem solved. <br />You found the hole behind you. <br />You would have seen it if you were walking forward. <br />But then again...~ <br /> <br />'Maybe I did this on purpose.' <br /> <br />~Exactly! <br />Whatever it takes.~ <br /> <br />'Aren't you going to help me get up? ' <br /> <br />~That's not my purpose.~<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whatever-it-takes-10/
