Bringing Themselves Down Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Bringing Themselves Down



Who aspires to remain at the bottom?
Who is motivated with that to wish?
Who with initiative wishes mediocrity?
And who would want success,
Yet not want to be identified with it?

People like to minimize those ambitious.
People like to criticize those with dreams.
People come to pick apart to leave their pieces,
To then seek attention for their misdeeds.

People like to minimize those ambitious.
People like to criticize those with dreams.
People come to pick apart to leave their pieces,
To then seek attention for their misdeeds.

Who aspires to remain at the bottom?
Who is motivated with that to wish?
Who with initiative wishes mediocrity?
And who would want success,
Yet not want to be identified with it?

People like to minimize those ambitious.
Just to be vicious.
People like to criticize those with dreams.
Just to be mean.
People come to pick apart to leave their pieces,
With a pettiness and ignorant schemes.

But the losers are the ones who can't get enough of...
Wallowing away in ruts.
And the losers are the ones who can't get enough of...
Bringing themselves down and can't get up.

People like to criticize those with dreams.
Just to be mean.
But the losers are the ones who can't get enough of...
Wallowing away in ruts.
And the losers are the ones who can't get enough of...
Bringing themselves down and can't get up.

People like to minimize those ambitious.
Just to be vicious.
But the losers are the ones who can't get enough of...
Wallowing away in ruts.
And the losers are the ones who can't get enough of...
Bringing themselves down and can't get up.

And the losers are the ones who can't get enough of...
Wallowing away in ruts.
And the losers are the ones who can't get enough of...
Bringing themselves down and can't get up.
