Left Out! Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Left out!
From decisions made.
Left out!
By those without vision.
Left out!
Yet kept to feel,
Included in divisions.
And part of a hidden mission.

People in positions refuse to listen,
To those more competent.
People in positions,
Pretend not to comprehend...
Anyone outside of a clique they're in.

Left out!
From decisions made.
Left out!
By those without vision.
Left out!
Yet kept to feel,
Included in divisions.
And part of a hidden mission.

People in positions will not listen.
Until it's too late to contemplate,
Their mistakes made.
And only then when everyone pays,
The price to evade and erase mistakes.
Mistakes that are shared,
Leaving no one spared.
Even those outside of cliques,
Are the first to be delivered the bills.
And done with it quick to show what's owed.

Left out!
From decisions made.
Left out!
By those without vision.
Left out!
Yet kept to feel,
Included in divisions.
And part of a hidden mission.
Although the mission remains missing,
From sent bills those left out pay.
