Excessive Access To Assess Value Possessed
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
In places where excess is more valued,
To access and assess.
The feelings felt by the people,
Are less shown concern.
Than what one possesses to address,
Impressions made to determine acceptance.
What people feel to express,
Has no value to expect at all.
Unless what is heard to express,
Passes a judgement test.
And that is quickly done.
After one unknown is shown,
To possess something thought valued.
And it seen to be scrutinized,
From head to toe.
Without eye contact,.
Attempted made to make this a necessity.
In places where excess to possess,
And assess the value quickly done to do.
How one feels to express,
Gets less respect to expect it to come.
In places where judgement is passed,
Is a given.
Whether one is known or not to be shown!
