Remaining Obligated Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Once it dawned on me to realize,
Remaining obligated...
To the minding of my own business,
Was more effective to my peace to keep.
Less were the headaches I solicited,
With beliefs the sharing of my experiences...
Would be received and appreciated.
Once it dawned on me to realize,
I had delusions I needed to rid and forget...
Forgiving myself for such foolishness,
Was an undertaking I did...
Not difficult at all to do.
Once it dawned on me to realize,
Remaining obligated...
To the minding of my own business,
Needed no one else's effort to endeavor.
