'Deed Over Boasting' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

So much evidence is obvious of those made to 'feel' insecure,
By the ones who have chosen to be deep in accepted debt.
Just to enable themselves to acquire things to impress.
Believing 'things' acquired makes them more attractive.

Some may be happy but few outwardly express this.
Even in the act of this being done.
For purposes within themselves to feel accepted.
With an approval expected.

And when they perceive their things will be repossessed,
That's the only time they humble themselves to approach those...
They had at one time intimidated with 'assumptions' they had less.
And having assumptions these days are not the best tests.

Since there are those who have chosen 'deed over boasting'.
And not to flaunt their successes to specifically address.
With a choice to choose to live undaunted and basically.
Knowing, if they wanted to do it to dismiss they could...
Anyone who dared to match their documented accomplishments.
