The Misdeeds They Did Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

One day many more people will choose,
To be held accountable for their actions.
And stand up they will do,
To face their consequences.
With a refusing to let someone else be accused,
For their reactions to actions upon them done.
That had on them by others to blame.
The same ones who had not before stepped forward,
To admit the misdeeds they did.
But for selfish reasons hid to keep unclaimed.

One day many more people will choose,
To be held accountable for their actions.
And stand up they will do,
To face their consequences.
With an enduring of their own shame.
To find the truth in doing this,
Ultimately rewarding.
With a discovery that honesty,
Comes with a wisdom and maturity...
That the presence of suspected fear can not detach.
