Trouble Maker Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When anyone takes the opportunity,
To brag about what they've got.
With a doing to belittle and demean others.
Done to mock nonstop to amuse.
That's the trouble maker.
A 'scenario creator'.
And the instigator of conflicts.
Enjoying the attention.
Only the main attraction gets.
Leaving those entertained by this.
Emboldened to feel,
Their insecurities perceived kept hidden...
Have been validated and given permission,
To entertain division.
As if accepted and approved,
Abusing others to do...
Is nothing more than it is.
Entertainment.

And the ones victimized,
Should not take seriously...
Having their lives publicly minimized,
By someone who does this.
For a purpose to disguise,
Who and what it is despised.
With the hope the intent meant...
Succeeds!
