Standing Room Only Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I thank you,
For this opportunity.

As a proud and upstanding,
Hypocrite.
I can not state for a fact,
Of knowing personally...
Those who seem to be,
Better hypocrites.
On either side of the tracks.
Who may,
Or may not...
Successfully lie and deceive.
Done to do this honorably.
Since there are some,
Who actively practice.
And others remain,
Remarkably humble.

However,
I can and will say this...
I am sure on both sides,
There has to be...
Decent people committed,
To their beliefs.
As we all are!

'Your testimony,
Is welcomed and appreciated.
And by the way...
Where is it do you preach,
This philosophy? '

Well...
I have been invited to speak,
At many...
'Standing Room Only',
Seminars nationwide.
