Analysis of Slow Goes The Selling Of It
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Few today are witnessed to rush,
To grab a hold of more fool's gold sold.
Slow goes the selling of it.
With proof and its evidence.
People have become more aware,
A substance wanted...
Is gone and nolonger theirs to declare.
And...
Slow goes the selling of it.
Fraud to buy.
Slow goes the selling of it.
Truth to deny.
Alibis, excuses and using of lies.
People are becoming more aware.
Impressions to make,
Doesn't get them anywhere.
And...
Slow goes the selling of it.
Theft and its corruption.
Slow goes the selling of it.
Conflict interruptions.
Slow goes the selling of it.
Peace to deceive,
As the elite feed greed.
Few today are witnessed to rush,
To grab a hold of fool's gold to touch.
Awakening to be aware,
A substance to want it is just not there.
And...
Slow goes the selling of submitting,
To division.
Slow goes the selling of committing,
To conflict.
And suffering as if this delivers benefits,
For who?
