Causing Their Own Pain Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Incredible as it is to be believable,
Is the possibility...
That there are those who will repeatedly,
Cause they own pain and sorrows.
Done to do on a daily basis.
With this to blame and accuse others,
For not showing to express or show concern.
As if they could care less.
Who it is doing to themselves to then protest,
How division and conflicts to start them...
Can be eliminated,
From their communities, families...
And places where they worship.
If people began to realize,
The issues they have to face.
Was not always mentioned they create.
But it is unity that is needed.
To support their endeavors.
Instead of listening to criticism all the time!
And criticism to dismiss it,
Regardless if constructive...
Few choose to accept this as positive.

"Why is it we are criticized,
For everything we do? "

-Perhaps it's the way you all,
Choose to fight and argue amongst yourselves.
To then believe and expect,
This is the best way to achieve unity.-

"Well...
Maybe you and others like you,
Should decide to mind your own business."

-Done! -
