Razor Thin Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Noticeably dulling,
Is that razor thin margin.
Between those with taught to teach,
Aging rapidly kept beliefs.
No one controls,
Over their own destinies.

Yet the ones who know and accept,
Everyday they have been blessed to live.
To make choices and consciously pick,
Without soliciting opinions heard given.
As to which decisions,
They would recommend from a list to choose.

Although so many remain to complain.
To hear them confessing,
How their lives to live stay the same.
Unchanged.
With time to accuse and blame others,
For this.
While they either protest,
Or sit upset.
About a mess they have created.
Done to have successfully accomplished it!

And...
By themselves.
To do.
But choose as a choice,
To pick someone else.
For a doing to expect,
They should acknowledge accepting the credit.
