Opportunistically Optimistic
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
The tired and repetitive,
Obviousness of the same game played.
By those who fraud.
And in broad daylight deliver deception.
Purposely created.
Left for others to correct or explain,
What has begun to begin...
A lasting to prolong,
The evidence affecting mental and physical...
Permanent devastation.
Yet excused to refuse and believe,
These misdeeds to see openly witnessed.
To dismiss as minor juvenile misdemeanors?
Have become more accepted,
By the ones who reject...
A reflection of themselves kept defended.
Although...
For whatever the reason,
Blaming to accuse...
Others of ruining a quality of life.
Makes them feel better about themselves.
When others,
Come to clean up behind them.
Then again blamed for the doing it better!
