To Dismiss And Ignore The Incentive Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It seems that an era of creative innovators,
Have all but disappeared with their initiative...
Ambition and motive.
To be smothered by an onslaught of duplicity.
The making of it too easy to dismiss one's artisticness,
As a waste of one's talent, time and mind...
With no impressions to make with 'things' to possess,
Has become defined as a uselessness...
By those who now prioritize one's importance,
In debts owed to predators preying like vultures...
For those who have sold their souls.
And doing it to leave nothing left...
But an exhibiting of unhappiness, regret and pain.

During these times those with creative innovative minds,
Are solicited to find a way to lift those out of their pits...
Of deepening sorrow.
Until a brighter tomorrow restores a feeding of greed again.
But the prospects of that cycle being repeated to begin,
Has faded away when duplicity accepted came to stay.
With an encouragement of thoughtlessness to express,
As those feeding on their need to feast selfishly believed...
A doing of it would last for them forever with kept delusions.
Even those with creative innovative minds could have prevented.
But those too ignorant chose to dismiss and ignore the incentive.
Making it pointless to wish for a return to greed again on repetition,
Unconditionally!
