No Game Show Host Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I am a writer.
A poet.
And an observer,
Of the human experience.
With a sharing to do this done.

I am not a game show host.
Or submit my creation of games,
To a poetry site.
Nor am I a forum commentator.
Committed to pass judgement.
With others who also lack insight.

I am a writer.
A poet.
An observer communicating.
In ways to share the human experience.
Not to fantasize or delude.
Unlike so many these challenging times.
Who would rather be amused.
And kept entertained.
To keep from the pain,
Of facing too much truth and reality.
Day after day after day staying afaid!
