In Affairs Not Theirs Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Only those with time to find,
What others should do...
Seem to have none to spare,
With a doing of 'their' kept noses...
Closer to the creating of their own business.

And with a doing to ensure what is done to leave,
Has a specific purpose and a quality.
With an effectiveness meant that leads 'somewhere'.
And not just to deny, defy or hide,
A particular stench left behind was not theirs.

People are quick not to admit they are human.
Accept when they have their noses,
In affairs not theirs.
To identify every smell there is...
But the making of their own.
