Lawrence S. Pertillar Rejection Poems

Words to use them,
Is just one of many tools.
To manipulate and abuse,
Minds limited to images.
...

An acceptance,
That has a negative affect...
Reeking of a need to be corrected.
Is difficult to recognize,
...

The importance of substitution,
Will never be as potent...
As the significance,
Of that which is originally given.
...

Feelings may be hidden but felt not to lie,
From a heart left broken no matter how disguised.
So many fear,
Facing rejection.
...

A concept to believe it.
Has more acceptance than not.
Like the presence of rejection.
That is perceived without reality.
...

Is what ones does to do effectively,
More significant...
Than what one has to impress?
Have we, today, adapted to a mindset,
...

In the state of rejection,
Some are unable...
To accept the affect of it!
...

Good deeds done,
Are seldom remembered...
By those who benefit from them.
But someone disliked for no reason at all,
...

What rights of mine,
Are they fighting for?
The poor of these wars,
Still remain bitter and sour...
...
