Analysis of Very Possible It Is
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Very possible it is,
To stay positive in an environment...
Inhabited by naysayers.
Looking for ways to display negativity.
Done with a doing,
To accept them for who they are.
Since in most places to live and/or visit,
Not too many from them leave.
To explore and adventure,
How they are seen to be observed.
Beyond their limited mentalities.
And this to do,
Can be a traumatic experience.
With lessons made to learn.
Coming from the ones willing to teach,
The meaning and purpose...
Of universal social behavior.
Not restricted to find,
Laying around found on the ground.
But in the mind to keep,
Respectfully to treat others.
As a way to show this known,
There is a difference between...
Greeting others ignorantly.
Than to believe everyone to meet,
Has a preference to be mistreated...
First with stupidity!
'Oh...
You speak intelligently.
These days,
So difficult it is...
To judge a book by its cover.'
'That's okay.
I had no idea,
You actually read and were not illiterate!'
'You know,
Some pretend they are ignorant.
And many don't pretend at all!'
