With A Doing To Convince Others Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why are people discovered to be weeping,
From decisions they make to stubbornly keep?
Then to blame others to relieve themselves,
Hopefully...
Of all accountability?
As they initiate to advocate with a protesting,
That holds with a scolding...
Someone else but themselves responsible,
For the actions they have taken with a professed innocence.
With a doing to convince others giving them attention,
That they've had no acknowledgement of being warned.
And the 'act' performed guarantees one empathy.

'Why are you smiling? '

~You have no idea how grateful I am,
I was not accepted to live in that neighborhood.~

'That's not nice to say.'

~You should have heard the words shouted to me,
When I was chased away.~

'Why do you exaggerate with such sarcasm? '

~Personal experience.
That's why I have such an admiration,
For those who are good at acting.~
