A Significance That Benefits Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Competing to get attention,
Is such a petty position with intention to take.
With nothing left invested that is proven,
A doing of this leaves a significance that benefits another.
Or a path one claims to have paved stays protected.

Too many today have had their minds conditioned,
To believe what they do deserves recognition.
And if no one mentions what it is they've done,
An embellished exaggeration is certain to be heard...
From them that comes.
