Prepared Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If I took a topic and expounded upon it,
With a research that has been detailed...
Why would anyone become offended,
If what I had chosen to discuss...
Was intended to eliminate distrust,
And the corrupted misuse...
Of someone's honesty clearly abused,
With a trampling on it as if an obligation.

'We are only here to make a choice,
From those submitted topics.
You have come too well prepared...
With a doing that is detailed.
And frankly,
We have never been ready for that.
And the act of what you have done,
Can and does offend.'
