That Which Others Pursue Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

That Which Others Pursue



Everything said and done,
Becomes easier to do...
After the ones giving their advice or opinions,
Approve with a doing...
That which others pursue.
With no assistance from those who insist,
People like this would have no initiative...
If from them initiative,
Had not been permitted with a patience to give.

'And what is it that you do? '

~I provide specialized criticisms,
To those who become motivated...
By my experience of doing this.
And my willingness to give,
This unsolicited technique.~

'What makes you qualified? '

~All my clients have left me,
Feeling despised with their rolling of eyes.~

'And you take credit for their success? '

~Of course.
Yes.
Regardless if they to others admit,
They would have become just as successful...
If I had shut my mouth and minded my own business.
But I have a reputation to maintain.~

'I see.
Do you have any advice for me? '

~Not yet.
However...
You'll be the first to know,
Where it is you can go...
The moment I feel I've been tested.~
