Fear To Leave Behind The Mundane Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Fear to leave behind the mundane,
Because of its overwhelming popularity...
Leaves a sustained remaining stagnation,
Many live to accept...
As steps of repeated mediocity.
With minds never to stretch beyond limits,
But yet a progress is expected...
By those comforted by their fears,
To leave behind the mundane...
In hopes without effort changes needed made,
Will appear from a selected list of preferences.

'You can not expect the people to feel the way you do,
About the future.
With a seriousness to contemplate.'

~What makes you think that's on my mind?
I now live here as if I visit.
Periodically when I am feeling nostalgic,
My curiosity is always satisfied...
When I mingle and socialize to then realize,
The only new replaced are the faces.
I've experienced living in other places.
Today?
There is nothing more I now treasure,
Than the same conversations I've had from my past.
This rejuvenates my mind 'and' never fails.~
