Exceptions And Expectations Awaited Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Exceptions and expectations awaited,
Can deflate those believing...
They deserve entitlements served automatically.
Because of who they are, where they live...
And who they know.
With a clearing of obstacles off their path.
To have a prefernce upon them bestowed.

But these are not those times gone,
One will find...
An ushering done to the front of the line,
Will change the minds of those impressed.
There are those seeking specifically to address,
The ones who have sacrificed their lives with the doing...
Of deeds seen to believe and not delusions to express.
