Just How Great We Are Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

By all means...
Do whatever it takes to boost morale.
Lower standards.
To heighten the advantage felt,
By those who feel others...
Performing at peak levels,
Have become threats to a persistent mediocrity...
Kept,
As a thing to honor and praise.

Instead of rewarding achievement at its best,
Let's just ignore that as a bother that annoys...
Like that done by toublesome pests.
And...
With that action that fulfills a satisfaction,
Everyone will then have confirmation,
Just how great we are...
To place our values at the top,
Of all of our priority lists.
