To Face Unknown Plateaus Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

With a stepping ahead to face unknown plateaus.
Or what that doing reveals to show.
I have learned as I've been blessed to age,
To not stop on my tracks to look back...
On my mistakes to have acknowledged.
And to let go of the premise...
Someone else to blame should be held accountable.
As I experience more of life,
I recognize the pointlessness...
Of making any attempts to do this.

And with a stepping ahead to face unknown plateaus,
I find it foolish to argue and invite conflicts.
I find it also senseless to tolerate with a patience,
Those who expect an attention to get...
For problems that can not solve they have created,
But solicit with wishes others to be involved...
To then become disrespectful and irate!
As if the steps ahead alone others take to eventually appreciate,
Without eliminating to face their own obstacles.
To accept them as tasks they must pass and condone.
