Lawrence S. Pertillar - Perhaps It Is a Possibility

Does one choose to be brilliant?
Or would they prefer to be more circumspect?

Do they select to be more profound and prudent?
With a discreetness they wish could be protected.

Is one of such consciousness,
Examining their own effectiveness?

Or...
Perhaps it is a possibility,
They are blessed enough to know...
What they have been bestowed,
They can keep to themselves.
With wishes not to share...
The disrespect others show!

To inspect on a kept scale of obnoxiousness!
Completed with an equal ignorance...
If one so declared brilliant elects!
Is it conceivable these are options,
Such a one with an awareness...
Gets and perfects,
To project objectively!

Lawrence S. Pertillar
