You would rather hear philosophies,
Kept to protect ongoing fantasies.
Or specified with ideals envisioned,
You feel represents values cemented.
Values outdated and today making less sense.
And I...?
I would rather re-invent the wheel.
To provide you a less bumpy ride through life.
Although a doing of it you will still criticize,
Just to give you something to do to disapprove...
From a comfort done given to you.
And, at my expense for daring to make attempts,
To initiate with a completing of what I promised.
From start to finish and done within your sight!
Has my doing too much of that caused you to backbite?

Lawrence S. Pertillar
