An Extra-Curricular Activity Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Anyone who has grown accustomed to opposition,
Is more than likely not the one to empathize with those...
Who had once done their best to undermine the efforts,
Of the ones they had intentionally advocated with protest...
To ignore when they came with messages,
That today affect their survival.
Some perceive truth as being an extra-curricular activity,
To do as if the importance of it will never be effective.
Like an elective one can dismiss if one chooses.
