Easy To Dismiss Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Not to acknowledge one's failures,
That has produced the arising of conflicts...
One initiated when introducing such events.
Is much like enjoying the act of making children...
But refusing to be known as the offspring's parent.

And apparently an accountability,
Is as easy to dismiss...
As is hunger and homelessness.
Since absent is the taking of responsibility,
When an obnoxious child throws a tantrum fit!
