Solid. Strategic And Methodical Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Solid. Strategic And Methodical



Solid.
Strategic and methodical.
Cresting ontop to wobble,
On less than popular...
False statements previously,
To have been consciously made.
But saved by a sincerity,
Most felt to believe.
And forgave unadmitted,
Confessed mistakes to say.
Perceiving a path,
Laced with gravel...
Now has begun,
To be of concrete paved.
And finally free of deceptive,
Self-interest to parade.

So shocking to open ears,
Once blocked.
So shocking to those,
Applauding with jaws dropped.
Too overwhelmed,
Are witnessing disbelievers.
Rushing nonstop to exits,
For a quick tote to smoke crack
Secretly slashed to return back
With minted scented breath.
Some giggle. Some laugh.
Leaving others unaware or care,
To ask...
If what has been done to do,
Is a trick to leave them...
Approving to be bamboozled!
While the applause,
Giggles and laughter...
Spreads with an infectious,
Cheering effect.

'More more more.'
The crowd begins to roar.
'More more more.'
As substance 'abused'...
Continues to go ignored.
