With A Hope Of Attention To Get Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People who discredit somebody else,
Do it with intention meant!
By berating anyone they pick to choose,
With a hope of attention to get.

They attack behind backs with a bad rap,
With a hope of attention to get.
And...
Doing it for laughs to pass and last,
With persisting of a doing of it!

Jokesters boasting doses of ego,
Hoping for attention to get.
And...
Folks like this love to feed on evil,
With a doing of it they can not quit!

Doing it for laughs to pass and last,
With an unresisted doing of it!
And...
They attack behind backs with a bad rap,
With a hope of attention to get.

Then when it dawns to come,
People like this want their acts to be forgiven.
But they have no place to run,
Or escape when the date is late...
To undo what they've done to leave heartache!
