Deliveries Made To Please Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Have you ever tried to stop,
Those who have come to feed at a feast?
With an invitation of greed encouraged.
And not a sign of discipline,
To cease the craving of their whims.

Have you ever tried to decrease one's gluttony?
Released from one who has turned into a beast?
Have you ever had your fingers bitten,
By a pet accustomed to being rewarded...
With top choice beef or other approved treats?

Try stopping it!
And the outcome may have you defeated.
And/or beaten into a coma induced sleep.

Maybe even hospitalized...
If not paralyzed.
Coming to a consciousness that finally realizes...
Many do not readily embrace,
A diminishing of supplies denied.

And expectations anticipated,
On a regular basis fed...
Have those caring less,
Who provides those ample dropped deposits.

They want deliveries made to please...
That's it!
