The Pursuit Of Social Invitations Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Now more are convinced,
A sitting on the fence...
Does not increase,
One's influence.

Or whispering into listening ears,
One's sentiments.
Those who speak direct and clearly,
May not be selected as the most popular.

However...
Those who hear truth spoken,
Are usually the ones taking risks...
To keep it vocalized.

Regardless of who rates what is being said!
It is about 'truth'!
Not the making of impressions.
Or the pursuit of social invitations.
