Easier It Is Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Easier it is,
To criticize...
Anyone who does,
What they do to get done.
At the best of their ability.
Than it is to express excitement,
For promises made...
Announcing them to come.
Repeatedly to hear,
From some to do done.
Yet none to come to see believed,
By those who make them...
With a capability to deceive.

And it is seldom,
Do 'dupers' like these receive...
The criticisms another gets.
Proving what they have done to do.
But has not met,
Those anticipating...
Their expectations to meet.
Regardless if they are out of reach.
Yet no one seems to remember,
In time taken for granted to forget...
What was done by one to do,
Had not been to them promised.
But guaranteed with it seen,
To touch, believe and inspect.

"What you have done is...
Okay.
Almost acceptable.
Close to the meeting,
Of the values we keep.
However...
We will wait to see,
What to us had been promised.
With this to do,
Before any decision we rush to make.
Although appreciated is your time."

Easier it is to dismiss.
Done to do this quick.
A taking for granted,
That which is...
Criticized.
Devalued and severely critiqued.
