Mind Out Of Touch Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If you stick around,
And...
Long enough.
You will stay to be stuck,
With a mind out of touch.
That's if you stick around,
And...
Long enough.
You'll be drained to remain,
Digging deeper ruts felt...
In your gut.

There'll be others with you who will,
Dig deep their ruts.
And there'll be others with you who will,
Complain how it's rough...
Living such a tough life to live.
But...
Pouring cups of sorrows,
Done to flow over woes.
Held to not let them go.

If you stick around,
And...
Long enough.
You will stay to be stuck,
With a mind out of touch.
That's if you stick around,
And...
Long enough.
You'll hear the moaners groaning,
About a life to live as if chained.
To do...
Everyday to accept, unchanged.
