An Encouraged Growth Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A seed to plant,
Is seldom unconsciously done...
Without a meant intention.

A mindset to feed it,
Will eventually expose...
What it has been fed.

Anyone refusing an encouraged growth,
While giving attention to the process of it...
To not admit to it being witnessed,
Seeks to be excused from their neglect.

A seed to plant,
Is seldom unconsciously done...
Without anyone acknowledging,
Their own involvement...
With its implementation.

Yet,
Denials are heard and accusations are made...
That 'they', ''them' and others who go nameless,
Were remembered to have been on the scene.

Although no one seems,
To know why 'they' were there with 'them'.
Or when an encouraged growth began.
And with time given to then claim not to notice.

A mindset to feed it will eventually expose,
What it has been fed.
Regardless who says,
It should not appear what it has become.
