Without Unity And Shown Respect Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If it had been possible,
That those with goals...
Were supported by others,
Equally ambitious.
Although different their endeavors.
In separate fields they chose.
Yet together they could see,
They were creating for others...
Opportunities to receive.
Less would be heard complaints.
Leaving few to be envious.
Or jealous of those,
Providing sweat equity.

However,
Accomplishing to do this...
Takes steps with awakened consciousness.
To know without unity and respect to give,
Moving forward no one should expect.
Especially if the people,
Find themselves passing judgement.
On those who succeed.
Regardless of opposition.
Presented to stop or delay their ambitions.
With nothing else to offer,
But repeating of heard negativity.
As if limited to this mental dependency.

And...
Flowing constantly,
From out of the mouths of the ones...
Claiming without unity,
A successful progress...
Is impossible to achieve.
Or believed can be done!
If everyone can not accept to respect,
Efforts to endeavor...
That may be different.
But ultimately will be beneficial.

"Uh...
Say what?
How many times,
And over the years has that been said? "

Proving...
The more success one is determined to get,
A stopping to listen to criticisms.
Left to leave behind,
With those of hypocritical minds.
Is the best thing to do.
When anyone chooses to move forward.
