Librarian Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Just because I write.
And have had some success.
Doesn't automatically...
Quality my efforts endeavored,
To have anyone believe,
I could easily be a librarian.
Or suggest what one picks,
From a library to read...
Is less effective,
Than my own perspective.
Nor could I sit,
In any position to recommend...
What one should read.
And what I believe,
Needs to be censored.

No pretense will I ever have...
That my experiences to acquire,
And to have written about...
Will be found as God's gift,
To humanity.
But I do sometimes wish,
I had the power to tell people
To 'hush up'.
And they would not question,
My influence.
