Sometimes the exclusion of one with a purpose, <br />Intentionally unmentioned with a doing done... <br />Gets more attention from those who are curious, <br />As to why some are given a rise to heights... <br />With questionable deeds and unproven capabilities, <br />And one who is prolific with depth and consistency... <br />Goes obviously ignored. <br />Yet a blooming that is beautiful, <br />Continues to be viewed no matter what one does to do. <br /> <br />'Well... <br />That depends on who is invited to sit with those selected. <br />And agrees without offending, <br />Others who charade an absence of competence. <br />To allow them to gather together to convince, <br />Like birds of the same kind comfortable behind a fence... <br />Who flock with similar and familiar feathers. <br />And whatever it is they do that is done, <br />Not one amongst them stands out or will peacock about.'<br /><br />Lawrence S.
