Actions Taken Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

For actions taken,
To start and begin them.
Difficult it is,
Admitting being responsible.
And considered a sign of weakness.
A betrayal and unpatriotic.
As is witnessed to observe,
In minds diminishing...
Of reality.

Acknowledging accountability,
For many would be thought as treason.
Since treasured to prize,
Is an ability to make accusations.
And we are living in times,
When many find it unacceptable...
To be honest and tell the truth,
About any misdeed or falsity they create.
Even in debates the best liar wins!
