Places To Avoid Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Concentrated are more escapes to make,
Today.
Tomorrow.
As common sense and the use of it,
Diminishes.

Too many are finding themselves bombarded,
By threats to fear.
And places to avoid others depict,
As being more dangerous...
Than the ones where they sit.
With weapons near within reach to protect,
Their minds from any signs of conflicts.
Conflicts in their minds they invite to exist.
With everyday to be reminded,
Threats are near and protecting against fear...
Is the only way today to feel safe,
From those others say are crazed.
