Denying What They See Is Themselves Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Denying What They See Is Themselves



Jealousy, envy.
And a lack of self-worth with identity,
Closed the door on them to lock all out...
From a treasure that was theirs,
That could have been shared...
To broaden their opportunities with other things to do.

But blinded to it was the intention of those ignorant.
With a keeping of ignorance as their preference.
And as a means to show themselves down to Earth.
But yet wanting to move away from those,
Who mirrored them with their 'down-to-Earth' activities.
Although denying what they see is themselves reflected.
