Necessity Craved Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Honor those with customs and traditions,
Wasted in not listening.
One day they will come to value this.
And that time spent trying to convince,
A listening done leads to comprehension...
Will no longer become a thing that is rumored.
Or what others do because they believe they are better.
It will become a necessity craved.
Saving lots of time and the need for medication.
And perhaps a segment of the population healed!
With the spreading of respect,
As an unexpected and welcomed advantage.
