No Apology Do I Offer Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What on Earth,
Are you people chanting?
And to do it at 'my' doorstep?

'We've come to grant you 'our' permission,
To live as you wish.
And...
With our forgiveness.'

That sounds great.
Now with no apology do I offer to say,
My life to live will continue that way.
And...
No offense,
But...
Who is the dude hoisted on your shoulders?

'He sees.
He knows.'

That's great.
And this is what I know.
Me see you leave to go away!
Okay?
