Getting Something Wanted Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People deep with choices to stay asleep,
But hoping with a wishing for their dreams to reach...
Are stuck devoted to a rusting gone unnoticed.
But shown to those who know,
A getting something wanted takes the moving of feet.
And then,
With it mentioned...
Those who stay asleep want to seek a revenge,
For lives they have been living with them to defend.
And then,
They want attention that defends...
Excuses that they make that never come to an end.

People deep with choices to stay asleep,
But hoping with a wishing for their dreams to reach.
Object to made suggestions.
And wont learn from taught lessons.
Yet want their voices heard,
About what they deserve.
And then,
The want attention that defends...
New excuses that they make,
To have them seen as victims.
And then victimizing themselves begins,
Again...never to end.
But they're getting something wanted.
