More The 'Norm' Today Than Not Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

More The 'Norm' Today Than Not



Being conscious and aware of it,
With it quick to observe...
What one does to do to affect another,
Connects them to it and directly...
Is not easy to hear their excuses made,
To disassociate themselves...
From what was done they did to do,
With accusations made to blame others.
As conflicts they commit continue to exist.

And this seems to be,
More the 'norm' today than not.
So many living lives to purposely victimize,
Are more empathized than scrutinized.
While those abused and accused to be at fault,
Have been placed into positions...
To defend their innocence without offending ignorance.
Although it is the attention those ignorant get,
That has created the rise in crime and violence permitted.

'They attempted to completely destroy my life.'

~Well...
They did not completely destroy your life.
Just your integrity temporarily.
So why are you remaining sensitive about that?
You got that back, didn't you? ~

'You don't get it.'

~Why should I?
I don't find their ignorance offensive.~
