Old Perspectives Kept Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

With old perspectives kept in check,
To leave unaffected those taking backward steps...
During times effectively changing,
It becomes imperative for the ones conscious...
And accepting,
That a reminiscing yesterday to repeatedly visit...
Decays over time a mind choosing to sleep.
Only to awaken to find it too late,
To debate from which delusions to choose.

Old perspectives kept,
By those stubborn with objectives are rejected...
As a consciousness that is unleashed,
Meets to greet effective changes.

With old perspectives kept in check,

Decays over time a mind choosing to sleep.
Only to awaken to find it too late,
To debate from which delusions to choose.

Old perspectives kept,
By those stubborn with objectives are rejected...
As a consciousness that is unleashed,
Meets to greet effective changes.
