Deserving Of It To Get Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

One's success to obtain and achieve,
With it sustained to maintain...
And for years repeated,
Will be difficult to beat.
Especially by those attempting to seek,
Various ways to deceive others to defeat it...
In the hopes one's success is perceived a fluke.
Without proof.
Or investigated documentation.
But through misdeeds created to intimidate,
One with an innovative mind not trying to find time...
For superficial ways to impress anyone.
Since what has been done to accomplish...
Had already been tested by those who protested,
Against the doer accustomed to objections.
And success to achieve,
With sacrifice, sweat, tears and rolled up sleeves...
Is seldom unfamiliar with opposition to receive.
To turn away with a decision made,
That a faith kept is not worth to keep.
Or that which arrives should be rejected.
To be convinced a deserving of it to get,
Was not a blessing intended or meant.
No one who achieves to receive success,
Is easily swayed by those resenting to prevent it.
The doing of it presented is a done deal.
Real as cement and sealed to be revealed.
And...
Leaving those despising often left to plagiarize,
To lie about the origins of their creativity.
