Those Who Leave To Come Back Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

People appeasing their insecurities,
And limiting their lives lived...
To appeal to a small town mentality,
Will never grow.

Those who leave to come back to observe,
And witness the spread of this sickness...
Are often heard expressing their disbelief.

Until they begin to realize,
Even the repetitiousness of observing this...
Can entrap,
If one does not participate...
In something that detaches on a daily basis.

Or...
Find a convenient way,
To stay in a prolonged amnesia.
