Creating Belief
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Whoever anyone greeted,
For the first time to meet.
Should leave the making to impress,
Left behind.
As a way to address,
Their self importance to express.
Close that door.
Before exploring a mouth to open.
No one should mention,
What they can do for another.
Done to do before it is proven.
Since ultimately the proof is in the doing.
With the creating of belief.
In minds of those to remain concrete.
Needing not to be told with words to speak.
How action delivers more worth to value.
Than meaningless endless pretentiousness,
Continuing to hear.
From the ones who make it clear,
Impressions kept to keep them made...
Leaves nothing left of substance.
And less of that,
To rely upon more it done to welcome!
Facts to fiction,
As if the doing eventually creates reality.
Has left many deluded to include,
Conflicts to invite as a way of life.
With a proving to do it,
Satisfies their expectations to believe...
Deception to identify,
Qualifies to value its worth.
Kept maintained as is.
