It Is Best To Be Of Deed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There are some people who achieve,
An obtaining of recognition to them received.
With a belief a falsity of shown pompousness,
Sets them apart in certain social circles.
To not understand,
How fleeting this 'fame' is to them which is given.
And once one becomes unbearably abnoxious,
Embers of this heat can simmer to cool very quickly.

People like this perceive their acceptance is forever,
Until they discover their addiction to attention getting...
Should be less prioritized with deceiving ways to keep it fed.
To realize much too late,
Long lasting superficiality becomes a worthless commodity,
No one appreciates.
Since it is best to be of deed with this to accomplished,
Than to be of pulchritude with this to fade but kept remembered.
