And There Will Be No Overnight Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Blatant disrespect accepted to tolerate,
Leads to an escalation of other outrageous behavior...
Too many ignored with a hope it is a phase,
That will from them will fade.

But as witnessed today more of it is allowed to stay.
As a kept strict discipline has been swept away.
And condoned by 'adults' who seem to be afraid to be adults...
In responsible ways yet escape from being held accountable.
With a defense that belabors to burden further,
On shoulders of those mature already carrying weighted loads.
Enduring through an absence of a quality of life that lacks,
Far too few...
Standing on their feet and supported by strenghtened backs.

And some perceive they have a right to do as they please and like.
Although increasingly on the scene are minds lost and out of sight!
Gone.
And there will be no overnight to correct to make right the madness.
