Incredible As It Is Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Remaining proactively aware.
And prepared for the possibilities.
Is much more effective.
Than attempts made to overcome,
Conflicts created by confusion.

With time and patience given,
To listen and learn.
And accepting what was done.
Whether good or bad.
Known to have had experienced,
From a long gone past.
Has its benefits.
Keeping remembered lessons.
Not to forget and move on.

And...
Incredible as it is,
To find this impossible...
For many to do.
Choose they refuse to use,
A thought process.
Due to their familiarity,
With a comforting ignorance.
Unable and afraid to let it go!
Kept 'socially distanced' from others.

"What are they arguing about?
Don't they realize,
Just how serious these times are we live? "

-That to them,
Has already been explained.
Over and over and over again.-

"Then...
What is not understood? "

-Who did what to do,
Their way.-

"When was this? "

-Decades ago! -
