It Is Time To Leave Them Alone Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It Is Time To Leave Them Alone



The moment it has been noticed,
That a people have accepted their conditioning...
To remain confined and limited in mind,
With excuses to make to stay that way...
Down to Earth to express pretentions,
In insecure and hypocritical ways obeyed.
It is time to leave them alone.

A process to awaken poses a threat to them.
And anyone suggesting,
They should stretch their consciousness...
By experiencong something different and fresh,
Is whispered and gossiped about trying to do their best...
Of being better than everyone else.

It is easy to observe,
People defiant and what they approve.
The proof is in what they accept!
And what they choose with their time to do.

'I can't stand them.'

~Why? ~

'Listen to the way they talk and walk.
How they dress and express themselves.
And the things that they do...
That are separated from us and the rest.'

~You mean speaking with clarity?
As if they are proud and have identity?
And they seek to know more about their surroundings,
To increase their minds and can not be defined as ignorant?
With a moving forward to discover truth and reality?
And being criticized doesn't seem to bother their integrity,
Since unity means to them being freed from stupidity? ~

'I can't stand them! '

~And I can see why,
They have decided to leave you alone.~

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Lawrence, Full of wisdom! Those who had been considered as the 'can't stand them category' were posthumously conferred with title, regarding poetic world is concerned. There were many poets in our place had died as poor, but a few of them have fan club, charity work and the rest on their names now, the business people know how to make money out of any destitute. Your country is a good example. This is the cruel world with full of cruel people like us, Thank you sharing,
