You don't care where it comes from. <br />Nor does a hint or clue, <br />Interest you. <br />Although it has come to confront... <br />You rather grunt in irritation. <br />Nothing about its appearance, <br />Stirs within you a contemplation to explore... <br />The origin. <br />You rather ignore it. <br />Just like everything you do that is done. <br />Everyone has begun to notice the crumbling... <br />Coming to do what has to be done that stuns, <br />But you! <br /> <br />You don't care where it comes from. <br />Nor do you wish to know, <br />It is what you reflect and your neglect <br />Has left it to grow! <br />To bring some to weep and many to sow. <br />Whether or not you accept it to harvest... <br />Does not affect the effectiveness of the trap. <br /> <br />And the setting of it, <br />Accepted or not is too damaging for you to take back! <br />Turn your head on that if you will. <br />But it is still a result of your creation! <br />A devastation of a planted ignorance... <br />You believed would bloom into fruit you would eat! <br />Like quick sales of stolen goods on urban streets! <br />Your mindlessness comes back to defeat you! <br /> <br />You don't care where it comes from. <br />Nor does a hint or clue, <br />Interest you. <br />Either you are too blind... <br />Or being ignorant is a desire you wish, <br />With a hope others will find in time! <br />And that time is not too far from your behind. <br />Unfortunately... <br />It is your mind that has come to find these times appealing! <br />With every denial you bring.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
