Learn To Get Fond Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Learn to get fond,
Of these times...
We are living in.
And if you haven't,
Learn to adjust...
To a disruption of comforts.
Try not to resist,
The doing of this since...
You will not prevent,
What has come to be done...
Without your permission given.
Or consideration of consent.

If you have not already,
Prepared to accept less.
You are not alone...
To find you've become upset.
Protesting with the rest,
Who have discovered...
Their once good credit,
Allowing them to produce...
More debts to get.
Those days have ended.
And so have pretensions made,
To win those contests.

Learn to get fond,
Of these realities.
Learn to come to acknowledge,
Some lessons to learn...
Many have chosen to ignore.
Learn to get fond,
Of those tasks to return.
To know they will be repeated.
Until they are successfully...
Passed.
