In Times Of Indecisiveness Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When the dumbing down initiated,
Has been determined completed and done...
I am hoping to make at least eye contact,
With one or two who remain in a struggle against it.

And...
To validate a thinking process has been kept.
With an admiration felt...
That is appreciated and adored.
These are the simple things,
I wish with someone to share more.

To acknowledge that one has an ability to think...
Chew gum!
And keep the rhythm of two moving feet,
To a beat one hears.
But can stop if one wishes...
Is such a gift in times of indecisiveness,
And loss of purpose.

So rare are thinking minds to find.
