In Rough Luck Times Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Be safe.
Be cool.
Be for real...
By doing what you feel,
That keeps your temperment...
Concealed from a steady rise.

Have faith.
Have hope.
Don't be baited,
And let go...
Of those you know,
Are trouble mongers.
Hungering...
To watch you blow your top!

Don't let a headache bubble up.
To leave you stirred...
And stuck,
In rough luck times.

Let go!
Let it be known and show...
You can flow like a river,
Swirling in whirlpool motion.
But free of emotions that collect in oceans...
Too deep to swallow.
And too wide to try to define.

Don't let headaches bubble up...
That get you stuck,
In a rut!
To have your nerves pluck...
In rough luck times!

Be safe, have faith and let go...
To bring an ease that comforts your mind!
You can flow like a river,
Swirling in whirlpool motion.
But free of emotions that collect in oceans...
Too deep to swallow.
And too wide to try to define.
