Lawrence S. Pertillar - On Everyone's Lips As An Expectation

2014-06-17 0

Those tasks one is given to complete,
Are not to be done to inspire 'awe'.

Tests that challenge are not easy missions.
And will be finished when a direction is given.

And those seeking an easy life to live,
Without a bruise to get...
Are the ones campaigning,
With others of like minds...
To comfort their insecurities,
Through acts of fault finding!

Wishing them 'good luck'...
Would not be in their favor!
And their numbers...
Are slowly decreasing.
With an acknowlegement understood,
That seems to be growing of this.

Accountability is on the rise.
With eyes on those who are opposed,
To carrying their own weight!
Excuses embellished,
With exaggeration..
Has been dismissed.

And this is to be done,
With or without signs of appreciation.

It is on everyone's lips as an expectation.
Since these times we live are not for charade.

With a delivery of a message sent,
That will be made clear!
And adhering to it is advisable.
Or...
There are always those consequences,
Many seem not to mind to pay!

Lawrence S. Pertillar
