To Refuse Those Nuts (Decisions Made To Make) Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

To Refuse Those Nuts (Decisions Made To Make)



Too many just take too much time,
Disliking directions others take...
To make decisions to live their own lives.
And captivated some become,
As if in the doing their opinions make sense...
With a wasting of time to validate their ignorance.

'No squirrel I have ever witnessed,
Has gone on a fast...
Because others have druthers to refuse those nuts.
In fact...
It's path has been made clearer to get them.
And with an efficiency to do the task much faster.'

~Is that the best analogy you can make? ~

'Probably not.
But from my point of view,
I have never observed a squirrel...
Observing other squirrels chase each other's tails,
To leave a focusing to gather nuts...
A decision not to touch to go nutless.'

~And what has this to do with ignorance,
And the direction one takes? ~

'Have you ever stopped what you are doing,
To listen to the opinions of others? '

~Sometimes.~

'Then you are the kind to refuse those nuts.
You would rather 'fast'...
Than continue on your decided path.'

~Nuts, paths, squirrels?
What in the hell are you talking about? ~

'Decisions made to make.'
