Eloquence, Comprehension And Competence Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Eloquence, Comprehension And Competence



What upsets and unnerves,
To become clearly revealed...
Is the doing of someone,
More sensible than others feel.
And they take the road,
Of embarrassment.
Not to admit,
They sit with minds harassed.

Secretly they make decisions.
Sweetened by sabotage.
Discreetly they agree,
What someone proposes...
They, together, could do,
A much better job.
And they are convinced,
Their quick fixes...
Does the trick,
That cements all the bricks.
Even though between them,
Not one has the experience.
Or proven competence.
And none of this seems one bit,
To turn on the switch...
In the minds of those who sit,
With smug faces.
Defiant in their stubbornness.

And yet...
The one abruptly dismissed,
Who had assisted to give...
Comprehension,
Eloquence and competence denied
To be despised for obtaining,
Intelligence not to hide.
Or disguise its presence.
Was despised for being arrogant
Instead of expressing...
Overwhelming confidence.
And this misinterpreted...
Leaves those smug who sit,
Accusing each other...
For proposed quick fixes.
With no proof to show,
How they fit or who benefits!
And which one amongst them,
Is brave enough to publicly...
Make it known,
To announce this!
