Content And Continuity
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Constant grows the nonsense each day.
Becoming more addressed.
With less content.
Yet...
The acceptance and continuity,
Of such mindlessness...
Seems anticipated to expect.
As if the using of common sense,
Has exited many minds.
And had been thought to have been,
A weapon against a normalcy pretended.
Just to annoy and upset,
The ones who choose and stay...
Stubbornly with kept beliefs,
That there are people...
Who actually go out of their way to think!
With a doing to prove they can do this,
Independently.
And...
Without bragging about how they do it.
Even alone.
Done to do without anyone watching.
Or...
Giving this observation,
Either applause, looks of shock and awe.
While witnessing this rare event!
Hoping to declare it significant enough,
To bestow upon this achievement...
A pioneering effort endeavored.
Worthy of certifiable notoriety!
