Leaving Few To Wonder Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Perhaps it is their madness!
Or an entrapment that satisfies.
However...
I can not be the only one who notices,
Those who say they pray for understanding.
But quick to turn their backs,
On those who God sends...
To assist them,
With the ridding of their 'sins'.

And they do their best to reject the messengers!
Coming with gifts.
And a delivery of their wishes.

And 'this' they do not accept.

Although they stay on knees humbly...
With an untouchable self righteousness,
Expecting a unity in a collective peacefulness.

But they choose to qualify those who come,
Assigned to them to get that done!
To leave few to wonder,
Why suffering remains their choice sustained.
And voices of deliverance,
Are silenced and shunned!
