Expressions Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Thinking independently.
Had been one time encouraged.
And taught to accept,
As an art form.
Enabling anyone this done to do.
With expanding their expressions.
Refusing to be limited,
By those choosing to feel safe.
In the arms of acceptance.
Making environments left unchanged.
Doing to leave many,
Comfortable in the exchanging...
Of accusations to make.
And complaints to rely upon,
To blame others for 'something'...
Done to do to 'normalize' life as known.
Regardless of what is heard,
About the 'what ifs'...'could ofs'...
Coming from those who sit on 'butts'.
Criticizing whatever someone else does!

And for them...
This is progress!
