You Do A Major Trespassing On My Patience Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Let's put aside the debating,
So we can get the basicness of this...
Out of our way.

I do not seek your interpretation or version,
Of what peace should be explained to me.
I want your feet removed from my backyard.
And your depiction of diversity,
Needs more of your acceptance for it to be believed.

If I see you on the street,
And we should exchange pleasantries...
If and when we speak with a respect given,
With nothing offensive to advocate or solicit...
That's peace.

There is no need for fake flattery.
Or a strategy to take what is mine away from me.
Remove your uninvited feet off of my property.
And awaken from your delusions,
Of what you perceive me to be.

Call me on the telephone or even write me a note.
But don't attempt to provoke me,
To have things done your way.
Those days today do not exist.
Unless you seek to see proof of how I will resist.

Let's put aside the debating,
So we can get the basicness of this...
Out of our way.

Your feet unsolicited and unvited without my knowledge,
Need to leave before any speeches of peace...
Take place to have me agree as to what your terms,
And definitions of it you believe.
Because right now...
You do a major trespassing on my patience.

And...
Prepared am I to protect my innocence.
No matter how you exaggerate my reaction.
