Effectiveness Some Do Not Expect Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Just because I show anyone,
My concern and respect.
Does not mean I am meek with weakness.
And those who dare to know the real me...
Will attest I can be short of temper,
With a mouth...
The kings and queens of etiquette,
Will isolate from pretentions they protect.

Especially when I am found,
To have a mind with lips...
Quick to deliver obscene sounds.

I am not the only one around,
Who has a mind and heart based in sincerity.
But step on my toes...
And I wont try to go to soak my feet,
With silent cursing behind clinched teeth.
No not me!
I will do my best,
To preach and teach lessons to address.
With a hopeful effectiveness some do not expect.
