Results Achieved
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Here it is.
The year 2023.
With many to accomplish,
Productive activities.
Known for decades to achieve.
Leaving others left to play,
Their successful unchanging blame game.
Convincingly done to do everyday.
And having more to believe,
What has been accomplished to achieve...
Had been the result to endeavor,
By those who sit, whine and complain...
About who does what to continue done to do,
Without to witness to see them sitting...
On their butts.
But,
Somehow...
And miraculously getting things done.
To know from those who skillfully complain,
An assistance to give it...
Seldom comes out of a moving mouth.
With a performance to witness lips,
Moving fast to judge and critique...
The very ones,
They benefit from with an eyebrow...
Yet,
Without a single finger to move or see lifted!
'So...
What is it to me you are saying?'
'Some pictures to paint them,
Can be abstract when presented.
And in need of explanation.
If in the year of 2023,
This is still a need...
To be understood to comprehend,
A connecting of dots to begin...
From where they start to end.
There is more,
Than just simple explanations needed...
To understand what is involved,
With having common sense as a tool to use!'
'I am not as old as you are.
Is it possible you can show me,
Where I can find it to buy?
I bet the expense of it is not as common,
As it had been when you were my age!'
'And to think...
How easy technology has made it these days,
For many to actually be proud...
Of being thoughtless and inconsiderate.
Yet to wonder why today's children,
Are undisciplined, rude, disrespectful.
Lawless, disobedient, lie and deceive.
And defend their entitlement,
To accuse the schools, teachers...
With a disgusting use of spewed free speech.
For being unqualified to cure and heal,
The minds of those socially psychopaths.
Displaying lessons taught to teach them,
Ignorance and stupidity to imitate...
Is an envious position many wish they had!'
'And...?
What point are you attempting to make?'
'Robots are not being programmed,
To be that dumb.
But will be capable to identify,
The ones who are!
With an ease to believe it done!'
'Huh?'
