Sometimes the exclusion of one with a purpose,
Intentionally unmentioned with a doing done...
Gets more attention from those who are curious,
As to why some are given a rise to heights...
With questionable deeds and unproven capabilities,
And one who is prolific with depth and consistency...
Goes obviously ignored.
Yet a blooming that is beautiful,
Continues to be viewed no matter what one does to do.

'Well...
That depends on who is invited to sit with those selected.
And agrees without offending,
Others who charade an absence of competence.
To allow them to gather together to convince,
Like birds of the same kind comfortable behind a fence...
Who flock with similar and familiar feathers.
And whatever it is they do that is done,
Not one amongst them stands out or will peacock about.'

Lawrence S. Pertillar
