Notice Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Notice.
With eyes to widen.
Notice.
With ears to hear.
Those with needs gone neglected.
Take notice.
Of who interferes.
Nothing that is going on,
Right or wrong...
Has disappeared.
To see it near.

Notice.
What is protested.
Notice.
Those this affects.
Take notice.
Who pays the attention.
Notice.
The ones caring less.
Nothing that is going on.
To prolong...
Isn't cloudy but clear.

Too many have decided to live...
Their lives directed.
With steps that are fed.
And too many have selected,
To have no thoughts in their heads.
Unless,
To choose...
From what has been approved.

Notice.
Who gets upset.
Notice.
Who accepts.
Notice.
Who complains.
And notice,
Who does this best.
Nothing that is going on,
Prolonged to know it wrong...
Hasn't changed for years.
With many hoping to notice,
This disappears.
