Which One, If You Chose, Would Be Your Preference? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You've allowed your discomfort,
To excuse outside irritations.
You've invited inside your mind.
And now you find yourself without time,
To detach it from your back!
With a seeking done to be understood.

I understand you perfectly!
You are one of the many,
Who decided to quiet your lips.
And not be part of the conflict that exists.

Now you discover there is no way to resist it.
And you wish to unite those who have similar interests,
In ridding yourselves of what had been taken for granted.
Where will you begin?
With the disciplining of your own children?
Or more frequent prison visits!

Which one,
If you chose...
Would be your preference?
Or would you stay in masquerade,
To save the investment made in charading!
