Proving A Wrong Made Right

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



When anyone has done all they can.
And beyond that to prove,
There intentions are sincere.
Above reproach, honest and true.
No one should express doubt or fault.
Especially after experiencing,
What for them someone has done.
To disregard and take for granted.
Like many do the rising Sun.

Very few will acknowledge to recognize,
Others too have their lives to live.
And can find other ways to use their time.
With a doing to choose,
Neither approval nor acceptance.
That invites a chipping away,
At their peace of mind.
To volunteer it done time after time.
Or insist with a deliberate wish,
A migraine headache to prioritize to sit...
At the top of their most wanted,
Achievements to accomplish list!
Having this to request is rare to digest it.

'Uh...hold up just a second.
For my own clarity to understand.
What to me you just said.
You said...
And, I believe it was to me.
You said...
WHATEVER IT IS YOU DO,
IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!
Am I correct?'

'That's right it isn't and that's what I said!'

'So right you are and I must agree.
And now as I understand you perfectly?
I have decided the time has come,
To prove you wrong!'

'You're proving me to be right not wrong.
Get your facts straight.'

'It's all in the interpretation.'

'The more you talk,
The less sense is made.'

'A picture paints a thousand words.
However...
In this case,
Action speaks louder...
To convince the making of sense.
Leaving words to hear unnecessary to use!'

'I...
Where are you going?
