Emulating Themselves Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Emulating themselves,
But they too accuse...
The very ones learning lessons from 'them',
What it is that should be done to follow...
And what it is with limited choices to choose.
With a doing that is taught to others to do.

Absent is an insight,
To recognize themselves denying...
Reflections applied,
Before their hiding eyes.

And blind as bats,
To reactions that enact...
With mirrored similarities,
They attack but can't subtract.

Absent is an insight,
To recognize themselves denying...
Reflections applied,
Before their hiding eyes.

Emulating themselves,
But they too accuse...
The very ones learning lessons from 'them',
What it is that should be done to follow...
And what it is with limited choices to choose.
With a doing that is taught to others to do.

Blind as bats,
To reactions that enact...
With mirrored similarities,
They attack but can't subtract...
From that which they have done to embarrass.
