Analysis of Accepted Disrespect
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Being inquisitive.
With an adventurous outlook.
To explore one's life.
Beyond a known environment.
As if,
Done to make known more...
About citizens living upon other shores.
Some may say this approach to do,
Is a conscious way of being nosey.
And that just may be true.
However,
How else would anyone come to learn...
Opinions of others.
Unknown before.
Away from familiar,
Open to close the comfort of doors.
Becoming less attached,
To a life that has become to bore.
Being inquisitive.
Is seldom taught to have this mentioned.
To children growing up.
Shown how to adapt and adjust.
Is as much a part of life,
To experience what that is like.
Instead of being told,
Safer they would be...
Minding their own business.
Finding to discover for themselves,
Adults complaining about someone else...
Are not the ones,
Feeling it felt a successful existence.
If wishing to want,
Success to achieve alone to receive it.
This to accomplish is a possibility.
But not likely to happen.
To have it come independently.
Like many observed and witnessed to see.
Turning their backs,
On opportunities disbelievers
With a having to behold,
Blessings bestowed.
Easily had but suspicious,
Of WHAT and WHO...
Would do this for them.
Without selling to let go of their souls.
It takes risks and chances,
To face threats and fear.
Yet nowhere near but heard to hear.
And many claiming faith.
With scriptures to quote.
To state them made.
Are often the ones saying it done,
That to mind one's own business...
Is more accepted to disrespect,
Others appearing different...
Away from their environment.
As a custom to do used as an excuse.
Carrying with them on their backs to share,
Conflict, division and ignorance packed.
Prepared to share that,
Wherever they travel.
Before and not after knowing,
On others shores people living there,
Don't accept or expect...
A deserving of that childish crap!
'And,
Remember children...
Wherever you may go in life.
Do first unto others.
As what was done to you.'
'But...
What about places.
Where we might travel.
Of different ethnic races and faces?
When then should we do?'
'Use your lessons taught to teach them.
And never be victimized,
By those in disguise who appear...
Kind, sincere and considerate.
Remember,
One never knows...
What's behind a smile.
Helpful to welcome you.
With a showing to receive,
You not to be a deceiver.
Since this is taught the World over!
