To Do The Right Thing Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

To Do The Right Thing



Each day to be witnessed,
There are those who make attempts...
With their efforts to do the right thing.
And with a doing not to expect,
Anything in return or an attention to them given.

And needless to say,
Someone on each one of those days...
Will come along to discredit efforts made,
To protest and to others to hear...
That attempts to do the right thing,
Should not be granted to accept.
Because an approval was not bestowed.

And therefore...
Any future efforts anyone wishes to make,
With attempts to do the right thing...
Has to consider the involvement of others.
Although an involvement sought from them,
Is a wasting of time to prove to be nonexistent.

'We want to be included in doing the right thing too! '

~No one has stopped you from making those attempts.~

'But neither has anyone bothered to ask us,
Which attempts to do the right thing...
We wanted to first have done to do.
So why should we approve what someone else attempts? '
