Lessons Learned Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Lessons Learned



I will have my beliefs.
But I,
Don't try...
To keep my observations,
Up in anyone's face.

We all have opinions.
And expressed lived experiences.
With a making of our decisions,
Based upon mistakes...
That should teach lessons learned,
Not to repeat.

I will have my beliefs.
But I,
Don't try...
To keep my observations,
Up in someone's face to preach.

Some are in positions,
To get attention.
With a doing to mention,
A point of view no one expects.
And in these positions,
Depending on conditions...
What's mentioned causes tension.
And tempers flare,
Unexpected everywhere.

'Who implied...
There are people still believing,
They were born...
To suppress and oppress,
Others they choose to rule.

Who implied...
There are people still believing,
They were born...
To suppress and oppress,
Others of a color to rule.'

I will have my beliefs.
But I,
Don't try...
To keep my observations,
Up in anyone's face.
