Rake And Shovel Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It may take a rake and shovel,
To clear what has been dumped over time...
Left behind purposely.
Done to collect and discovered,
Found to have laid to stay on one's mind.

And the doing of it,
Will neither be fast or quick.
When one awakens to realize,
Who those were...
Deceiving and lieing,
On another just to undermine.

Yet...
When one finally gets to the bottom,
Of all the trash and garbage...
To have been dumped to perceive,
The doing of it a joke?
Well...
One's mind should no longer find,
Folks like this worthy of comment.
Shown to make known of being provoked.
Or even acknowledging them to exist.
This to do...
Would be a wasted effort to permit.
Since what would be the point?

Seriously.
Think about it.

If their ignorance to know it,
Has already been revealed.
This should be incentive enough,
For one to feel...
A benefit from it to have learned a lesson.
Leaving as is to move on.
Without a huff to puff or eyebrow raised.

However...
That rake and shovel?
One should keep to value.
Since one never knows,
When and if they may be needed again!
It is best to stay prepared and aware.
