The Death Of Common Sense Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The re-occurrence,
Of 'isolated' violent incidents...
Becoming more entertaining,
As if they are scheduled social events...
Proclaimed not wanted,
Yet getting to appear as expectations.
With them to be solicited and not to prevent.
And represents the death of common sense.
Since no one wants to be accused,
Of having solutions using intelligence.

'How dare those 'arrogant' people,
Suggest and recommend what we should do.'

And not so 'isolated' are these violent incidents,
Increasing within and beyond restricting fences...
Of those who refuse to see but keep beliefs,
That their mindsets kept with fresh delusions...
Have 'not' been the reason and the cause,
Such 'incidents' depicted as isolated have increased.
And continue to prevail as a failed acceptance of reality.
A reality wished did not exist although permitted,
Is an unspoken commitment to an unadmitted ignorance.

'We need someone to assist us to fix,
The problems we are faced with that have happened...
With them to begin for no reason at all.'
