Caught up into limitations. <br />So many whine... <br />And find time to entertain it! <br />Living within closed in narrow minds, <br />And crying the blues like losers do! <br />Without one thought to taking a step, <br />In another direction. <br />Just for the hell or heaven of it. <br />Even a pause at an intersection of indecision... <br />Is acceptable and should be welcomed. <br />It is difficult to critique something unfamiliar! <br />Although it is done. <br />Leaving the ones who do it, <br />Expressing such vocal ignorance. <br />And helping to identify themselves... <br />As social misfits! <br />Out publicly dispensing their dysfunctions! <br />At least you will feel removed from being locked in! <br />Like them. <br />Sewn into a pattern with no wish to rip free! <br />And if you choose a direction you find not liked... <br />Find something about it you do! <br />Focus upon it and admire the difference. <br />Think of it as being stitched onto a patched quilt!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
