Equal Comfort Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Every decision up to this date,
You have made...
Has been done to disregard,
Suggestions to consider.
Or anyone's feelings,
You had not before quickly dismissed.
And I have been a witness to hear this admitted.

Yet today to hear you say,
Someone has treated you disrespectfully.
And in a way that displays a total disregard,
For any experience or wisdom you have earned...
Surprises me.
I would suspect you would accept that,
As a return of an equal comfort.
