Received Without Pain To Achieve Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Seek to understand and comprehend.
Seek from someone to be taught,
Something new beyond what is familiar.
Something new not to expect.
Something to accept not to argue about.
Something that will close your mouth.
And open your mind to find,
Something to discover.
That for you begins to make sense.
To then notice,
How thoughts to use with them to think...
Can be as painless as wisdom is to achieve.
When given the opportunity,
To receive and allow it to happen.

And...
Believe it or not.
From the most unexpected situations.
Done to come,
From people of all races.
And places to have lived,
Where less important is impressions to make.
Pretentions to fake them.
Or egos to display an immaturity!
