Lawrence S. Pertillar - It Wasn't Meant To Be What It Was

It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep.
Yesterday and those days before.
It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep.
But come as it does to undo those doings done.
With an adjustment to have minds change.

Those yesterdays and the ones before,
Have locked those doors to close forevermore.

It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep.
But come as it does to undo those doings done.
With an adjustment to have minds changed.
Leaving nothing left to remain maintained,
As the same to provide a satisfying comfort.

It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep.
Any yesterday that came days before.
It wasn't meant to be what it was to weep.
To come as it does to leave,
A comfort providing comfort undenied.

It wasn't meant to be what it was to keep,
Or weep through memories of it kept to reminisce.
Since even they will be gone from existence,
As beliefs now perceived set in steel and/or concrete.
It wasn't meant to be what it was to stay that way.

Lawrence S. Pertillar
