So Far Behind The Times Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Once comforted by standards and values,
Thought to remain in a permanance forever kept...
Were those who felt free,
To pass their critiques and judgements on others...
Who chose to experience,
Many different and assorted things to bring to them...
A diversity to life.
With expanded capabilities.

And as time has changed,
To leave those fixed in a mind of 'permanance'...
Silenced has been their lips and critiques.
Since they are the ones today who seek,
Answers to their questions.
And reasons why they can not adapt,
To the quickness of change and their disbeliefs.
Or how they could find themselves so far behind the times.
