Some Folks Are Not That Forgiving Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Hey...
Now that you have finally landed on the Earth.
Do not expect a dispersement,
Of overwhelming cheer.

Remember how you left us here?
With a turned up nose,
As you made your climb to the top.
Elevated above the 'have nots'!

Something or someone has greased that ladder.
And to the bottom,
You quickly dropped.
And your 'sizzle' has come to a sudden 'flop'.

Hey...
Now that you have finally landed on the Earth.
Do not expect a dispersement,
Of overwhelming cheer.
Some folks are not that forgiving.
I know I'm not.
And that I want made clear.
