Opportunities To Network Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

'Mindsets that lock in time,
That ticks and passes...
Stay behind fences,
With rose colored glasses.
And they stay hopeful their wishes come true.
But few of them make attempts,
To prove that they do.
Since...'

In an environment that thrives,
On images and impressions made...
Opportunities to network,
One's talents and skills...
Can not to the inhabitants be given away.

Not if people have been taught,
That their kept ignorance sought...
Endears them to those with a love,
To only witness them expose themselves...
Performing in clownish poses.

'Mindsets that lock in time,
That ticks and passes...
Stay behind fences,
With rose colored glasses.
And they stay hopeful their wishes come true.
But few of them make attempts,
To prove that they do.
Since...
Minds conditioned like this,
Are meant to stay fixed...
Duped, tricked and fooled.'
