To express feelings felt with honesty, <br />Is what has been missing... <br />That keeps people in fear seeking, <br />A peace of mind they are unable to find. <br /> <br />And choosing to be politically correct, <br />With proper etiquette not to upset... <br />Only affects those who accept, <br />Delusion over truth WITH pretense. <br /> <br />With the hope to convince, <br />Their false impressions made... <br />Are enough to save themselves, <br />From not appearing to be abnormal. <br /> <br />Although dysfunctions and mental illness, <br />Have become too noticeable and commonplace... <br />That the quality of life has been diminished, <br />To who has rights to keep and purchase guns... <br />As a protection from standards kept valued.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
