Familiarity With Common Sense Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A familiarity with common sense.
No longer common,
In a past tense...
To have, for some, known it meant.
With it used and once associated,
As having 'intelligence'.
And identified to qualify someone,
Of being capable to make...
Decisions with common sense in place.
Well...
Those days to have them to appreciate.
Seem to be just as outdated.
Along with those who have aged.
Reminiscing those times they had lived,
When people were actually observed and witnessed...
Using their minds for the purpose to think.
Independently.
Without a thought this process done,
Would one day offend anyone.
