Desired Outcomes Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Desired outcomes that miss the mark,
When someone wishing 'assumes'...
Another to be accountable,
For that which is not heard or mentioned...
From them to set into motion,
To initiate a start in waiting that hesitates.
This...
Becomes fated to never surface,
To see the light of day!

And yet,
People on the fence sitting...
Expect attention,
They seldom get.
Even at the height...
Of their questionable protests,
And public fights ignited...
For rights demanded.
As if these should be to them handed.
