Your Acts Kept Practiced Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

While you were deciding,
Who was and who was not worthy...
The Earth beneath your feet,
Was being sold...
As you directed tactics.

While you were practicing,
Division and indecision...
Your own deceit taught you knew,
Was preparing to teach...
A lesson or two!

And now you seek,
A return to pleasures.
Those pleasures you fed...
To keep your nose up high,
And your disguise...
Being stripped from you,
Right before your eyes.

And now you seek,
A return to pleasures.
And without measure...
Your treasures have been downsized!

While you were deciding,
Who was and who was not worthy...
The Earth beneath your feet,
Was being sold...
As you directed tactics.

Your acts kept practiced...
Has entrapped you as one victimized.
