Hopeless And Regretting Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

As expectations and having regrets,
Come and not from them to go...
There are some people who have shown others,
Disrespect and this done for decades...
To find themselves shakened with heartbreak,
Upon discovering how difficult it is...
To distance and escape from their own misdeeds.
With excuses to make about how they've been misled.
Although consciously feeding a wickedness to spread.
And a wickedness to spread has a way to return the dread!

Those who deceive with a sneaking secretly to defeat,
Always seem to leave their scathings done to trace.
And left to follow by others with no attempts to erase.
As if on a mission to brag with lifted egos,
To exclaim who it was they sought and brought to their knees.
With it unexpected eventually,
They would discover themselves in gutters on their butts...
Hopeless and regretting from their own knees scraped,
Looking up to others who had healed and recovered...
From misdeeds implanted by deceivers who now plead!
