Lawrence S. Pertillar - Ideals Envisioned

You would rather hear philosophies,
Kept to protect ongoing fantasies.
Or specified with ideals envisioned,
You feel represents values cemented.
Values outdated and today making less sense.
And I...?
I would rather re-invent the wheel.
To provide you a less bumpy ride through life.
Although a doing of it you will still criticize,
Just to give you something to do to disapprove...
From a comfort done given to you.
And, at my expense for daring to make attempts,
To initiate with a completing of what I promised.
From start to finish and done within your sight!
Has my doing too much of that caused you to backbite?

Lawrence S. Pertillar
