There is so much that people miss. <br />So much that 'skips' their understanding. <br />No exploration of thought, <br />Brings to them full comprehension. <br />No mental stimulation is going on in their minds. <br />The world is defined by them... <br />As it has been delivered. <br /> <br />There is so much that people miss. <br />So much emptiness exists, <br />Between their ears. <br />Conditioned to be limited, <br />And from that they view <br />Is the sum total of their lives! <br />Some have committed suicide... <br />That's how shallow their egos felt inside! <br /> <br />There is so much that people miss. <br />Debating it in mindless arguments... <br />Makes no sense when that is witnessed. <br />Attempting to sway one's way with another... <br />Seems to be likened to a dog chasing its tail. <br />Or running after cars! <br />There is a need... <br />But what is that need feeding? <br /> <br />There is so much that people miss. <br />So much about 'this'... <br />This life! <br />They leave to go unadventured! <br />With no incentive to capture a fresh thought!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
