The Deed Comes Before The Media Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I would never admit,
Without going into a series of conferences...
That I consider myself a pioneer.
Oh...
And I am in more ways than one.
There's no need to be stunned by my revelation.
It's true.
Today I am in a willing to share mood.

There are some who refuse to acknowledge my props.
Believing themselves to be deserving,
Of any attention for their donations...
While securing a photo op!
With a massaging of an ego done!
And anyone who has delivered 'anything' from the heart...
Knows that the deed comes before the media.
Without a need to solicit a feeding on it.
