Silent And Without Comment Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who says and does what,
With an expressed intent...
To openly offend another as is meant.
Then using the media to deny,
As attention is given to those with alibis...
Still leaves a quality of life that slides,
Into a pit where they all bask and sling mud.
As if delighted little pigs loving to get what is given.
A feeding upon scraps and that which is expected.

While those enjoying every moment of this,
And standing near to observe the foolishness.
Although inciting the conflict,
From both sides of the fence taking notes...
These folks remain silent and without comment.
With wishes exchanged the time soon comes,
When a fattening is done to slaughter them all.
Hoping the bickering between them kept,
Adds to the taste to make the flavor greater.
