Lessons Taught To Teach Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Lessons Taught To Teach



Few should have valid reasons,
To lie on or despise anyone.
Period. Exclamation point!
Be that person,
A sibling, friend, foe.
Or a business associate.
They barely know.
Unless...
A teaching of a lesson,
Had been repeatedly refused to learn.
That did not come,
From an absentee parent.
Guardian or school teacher.
Missing the opportunity to do it.
Without making that lesson,
Understood and firmly delivered.
And there are some put in that position.
To not have been certified,
With a getting of a message across.

Few thinking using their minds for that.
Would find reason to lie on,
Or despise anyone.
Unless they sought for attention to get.
And this still would not explain,
Why people who claim consciousness...
Continue to embellish their lies,
With added touches...
Of being victimized and traumatized.
Depicting a visual as if,
To have been an abandoned orphan.
Roaming alone on the Sahara Desert.

Yet,
To not confess...
What they had did to do to another.
Be they sister or brother,
Or a friend they made into a foe.
Who eventually exposed them to be a fool.
And showing just how ungrateful,
They have become.
For not appreciating lessons,
No one else bothered...
To take their time to teach them.
