Outdated Aspirations Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Outdated Aspirations



Being present and accountable,
Only takes one decision to make.
And that decision is not often made,
Within days or months.
Some will use all excuses to exhaust,
Until it becomes realized...
Those who had empathized either died.
Or have moved on to other Earthly places,
To escape from the mundane.
That will entertain already left behind...
Thoughts to think in abandoned vacant minds.

Putting off today for a tomorrow that comes?
May be acceptable,
For those into magic trying new tricks.
To then know procrastinating,
Only produces overused tactics.
And someone like this,
Awaiting decades to pass to allow a stubbornness...
To delay applying motivation to a simple task,
Will always be heard to ask this question...
'Where has the time from me gone? '

~Uh...
I can't answer that question for you.
However I will say,
Your energized outdated aspirations...
Would have been more appreciated yesterday.
But today,
A pulling of rabbits out of hats...
Expecting an attention to you given,
Can be compared to threatening to take...
Everyone's cellphone away.
To then demand of them to use their imaginations.
And miracles like that no longer exist.'
