Why Should I Be Concerned? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'May I ask you a question? '

Sure.

'What would you recommend I do,
If someone disagrees with something I have done? '

I would first ask whoever that is,
What is it that I've done they disagree with.
To ensure it doesn't happen again.
Or to provide a clarity as to why what was done...
Had been the way it was.

'Oh...
So you are saying I should ignore the situation.
And forget about it? '

Is that what I said?

'No...
Not exactly!
But I can understand that is what you mean! '

What was your question?

'What would you recommend I do,
If someone disagrees with something I have done? '

And how did I respond to 'that' question?

'It doesn't matter...
Since I know what I will do next time! '

So you are not concerned with resolving the issue?

'Why should I be concerned?
They will think what they want anyway! '

Then why ask the question?

'I just wanted to know what 'you' would do!
And what you suggest doesn't apply to me.'
