The 'what? 'and 'why? 'of It All Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There once were days,
Some still can remember.
They were left to question,
That which had been...
Thought extraordinary to not expect.

Today?
In the 'now' of life most consciously live.
To become accustomed,
With accepted repeated stupidity.
Hearing anyone exclaim 'WHAT? '.
Followed by 'WHY? '.
Capitalized as if in disbelief and shock.
Captures more attention,
From those astonished.
That anyone these days,
Can actually be left expressing...
They are amazed by it all.
Without fearing to expose their innocence.
Which today,
In these times in the 'now'...
Many to have awakened to consciously live.
Is the most amazing thing,
To observe this witnessed!
