More will abandon those issues, <br />Said to be unjust. <br />By those outspoken, <br />To focus attention brought upon them. <br />Than they will to show support, <br />To the ones advocating rights of others... <br />Not to have them abdicated. <br />With a holding onto them to leave untouched. <br /> <br />'Why? ' <br /> <br />For whatever the reason, <br />It is clear there are those who fear... <br />Losing their association, <br />With those who affiliate themselves... <br />As conformists to what they hold dear. <br />Even though a diminished quality of life is near. <br /> <br />'Maybe... <br />'If' no one says anything, <br />Concerning this downward swing... <br />It will be noticed many are suffering. <br />And they will then 'eventually', <br />Show to all... <br />There has been a misunderstanding, <br />In the guidance of their compassion.' <br /> <br />Yeah. <br />You are right. <br />There is nothing that I notice most, <br />Than a mouth that is kept closed. <br />And... <br />A presence that remains invisible.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
