Prodded Into Discussion Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Philosophy spoken only works,
When the doing of it...
Is not so academically induced.
From classrooms.
But applied to one's reality.
You know...
The one that deals with truth and life!

And absent of debate teams,
Prodded into discussion...
To give deluded opinions,
As intelligently as possible.
While providing more of meaning,
To those participating to get good grades...
If such lip service actually was put into practiced.
