Don'T Think Of It As An Oversight Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

How can anyone expect,
More to be accountable for their actions?
When only a few take responsibility,
And they are considered to be fools.

Those who are accused,
Of standing on their feet...
And doing it with a maturity,
Are the ones some choose to see defeated.

'Where is it do you live? '

In a place where I defend and keep my peace.

'And where is that? '

Have you been invited?

'No.'

Don't think of it as an oversight.
But something intentionally done.
