Left Less Expressive To Suggest Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Sitting from day to day and awaiting,
As decades slip away from them to pass...
Are those expecting someone else to come,
To undo what they have done to themselves.
That resulted in minds that have stayed...
Irresponsible.Disrespectful and undisciplined.
Although adult in appearance.
Children they remain.

Leaving others with druthers.
Who have been accountable to rely upon,
Backstepping away to exit from stress.
And left less expressive to suggest the obvious.
With it known what 'is' obvious,
Would only make those more upset.
Those who sit from day to day.
Awaiting for their lives to be corrected.

And with a doing what is best,
When reality is clear to see it shown.
Coming to a doorstep to make itself known.
It is wise to leave left alone,
Anyone who argues to object...
To anything one wishes to recommend,
'Or' wants to suggest.
By taking that exit to leave that experience,
To be taught a lesson for 'them' to get.

Especially if that lesson,
Has by one been repeatedly learned.
To know when it is best to leave left,
With less to say what comes next...
To anyone,
Who has yet to have had that experience.
