Childish Minds Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Childish minds finding time to play,
The same games and excuses used...
To do everyday begin to display,
The seriousness...
Of a deepening and wide spread,
Mental illness.

And those who recognize this doing...
As a flaw effecting a collective mindset,
With a doing to get others to see...
Are often accused of being embittered,
When they refuse to accept disrespect...
To allowed to affect their kept sensitivities.

'I'm not putting up with that nonsense anymore.'

~Awww...
What's the matter?
Somebody hurt your feelings? ~

'Not as much as the quality of life,
I remembered respected.
And most enjoyed.
Now, today...
Many are caught up in its destruction.
Including those who have chosen,
To keep their minds closed.
With a belief they can do and say to others,
Whatever they wish and whenever they please.'
