An Epidemic Gone Unadmitted Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Has an epidemic gone unadmitted,
To become inflicted to permit and not resisted?

Immensely influenced I had been for many years.
With a belief my love and appreciation for others,
Was an activity noticed to welcome as received.
Knowing without question,
My devotion and commitment had been believed.

Has an epidemic gone unadmitted,
To become inflicted to permit and not resisted?

But it takes just one,
With a disease to disrespect with an infesting done...
That makes anyone do an effective self-evalutaion.
By reaching a conclusion to prevent an advantage meant,
To abuse one taken for granted and with intent.

Has an epidemic gone unadmitted,
To become inflicted to permit and not resisted?

Only those taking steps,
With a realization...
A truth accepted can no longer be neglected.
To leave a suspected abuse refused,
A continued doing by someone without a consciousness.
