Events Consenting To Ignorance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Too many events consenting to ignorance,
Could come to a peaceful end if not provoked.
There are just too many folks,
Who have found a kept dependency...
On excuses made have left them with reasons,
To please their diminished use of common sense.

Too many events consenting to ignorance,
Could come to a peaceful end if not provoked.
But...
There are just too many folks,
Who have found a kept dependency to believe...
Their childish actions 'are' deserving of sympathy.

Why do people use more excuses,
To not face what is true.
Why do people think they are owed,
To do things that they choose.

They choose...
To not hear or to listen.
And,
They choose...
To claim others are the blame.
And,
They choose...
To accuse somebody else,
For what they do to themselves.

Too many events consenting to ignorance,
Could come to a peaceful end if not provoked.
There are just too many folks,
Who have found a kept dependency...
On excuses made have left them with reasons,
To please their diminished use of common sense.

They choose...
To not hear or to listen.
And,
They choose...
To claim others are the blame.
And,
They choose...
To accuse somebody else,
For what they do to themselves.

And,
They choose...
To use more excuses.
And,
They choose...
To accuse somebody else.
And,
They choose...
To put their blame on backs,
On others they attack.

And,
They choose...
To not hear or to listen.
Or respect with a dignity.
But believe that other folks,
Should protect their insecurities.
