Too Many Are In The Business Of Others Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Too many are in the business of others.
And very few possess a key,
To open any doors.

Too many are in the business of others.
And yet allow themselves to become offended,
When someone makes their own decisions.

Too many are in the business of others,
And not one bill of others do they pay.
Or can offer to make arrangements,
To keep utilities from becoming disconnected.

And yet...
Believe of themselves to be the judge and the jury,
When someone they decide to continue to criticize...
Walks away with nothing to say,
To know that being stressed out by fools...
Is not a life they have prioritized to live.

'I saw you the other day,
And you went out of your way to ignore me.'

~I know you might have told this to others as well.
However...
If it seemed I intentionally did not acknowledge you,
Forgive me for having other things on my mind...
Besides seeking anyone to offend with that purposely done.
Sometimes I have to rush to ensure the key I possess,
To open my door stays that way with no time to socialize.~

Too many are in the business of others.
And not one bill of others do they pay.
Or possess a key to open any doors,
That will benefit or provde opportunity.
But believe of themselves to be the judge AND the jury,
For any decision one should make...
Regardless of who has the time to criticize the process made.
