Get Use To Being Tested Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If one is not specific and precise.
Or makes attempts to be responsible,
With an accountability for their actions.
What influence do they expect to have,
On someone else...
Who has been taught to be 'upfront',
From birth?
Even a displaying of pretentions does not work,
When one is made to feel 'humbled'...
In these situations.

'Ma?
My teacher says I think I know so much.'

~Don't blame your teacher.
I had nothing to do with raising her.~

'He's a 'man'.'

~Well...
Get use to being tested.~
