Similar To Buyer's Remorse Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Weren't they once ostracized?
With an effective shunning done?
Why are they now...
The ones being protested against?

'Well...
What has happened is similar to buyer's remorse.'

What do you mean?

'You know...
Many times when people choose to go with the flow,
They often become convinced,
The doing of it has an acceptance.
And very few can see ahead the repercussions,
Of their decisions made.'

Then why bother the ones,
They had chosen to ostracize and shun?
To protest their acceptance of it?

'Well...
You see,
Those once shunned were by others made to believe,
Had been the fools and idiots.
But time has proven them to actually be,
Less radical and more practical,
By those who have embarrassed themselves...
With a holding onto ideals and appealing concepts.
So...
They are hoping to appeal to those they had offended.'

But...
From my point of view,
It appears those being protested against...
Are ignoring those events upon them that are focused.

'You see it.
I see it.
But apparently those afflicted with mental conflicts,
Are not aware of their fading influence.'
