Allow And Enjoy Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Allow and enjoy,
A life blessed to receive...
The opportunity to have a mind.
That can be used to think,
Independently.
Allow and enjoy it.
Never to take the ease of this,
For granted.

Even though this choice to choose,
May upset others...
Who use their minds trying to find,
Approval and acceptance.
For their thoughts to think.
Whether to disrespect or abuse.

Know them to be quick,
To switch their minds off and on.
Leaving them often,
Left off.
Fearing too much energy,
May go in hesitation to waste it.

Until someone else,
Turns that mind on.
With a keeping a thought.
That is totally ridiculous.
Heard to hear coming out,
Of anyone's mouth.
Claiming to be conscious about it.
To premeditate and await,
For just the right time to share.
