Greatness That Was Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A greatness that was...
And grossly depicted in myths.
With an embellishment done,
Throughout generations entertained by this!
Has long sat on shelves dusting.
And rusted from a lack of activity.
But convenient to use as reference material...
To excuse these times abused.
Although...
Long neglected.
Yet now picked to select,
During times accusations are displayed.
For many to wave their fingers to blame...
As a decaying lays.
And everyone has paid the price,
To maintain their observances...
And their rights,
To fight to keep this in place!
As is.
