A choice made to separate, ' <br />With others of like minds to isolate... <br />Over time in this kind of confinement, <br />Diminishes the health of mental wellness. <br />And this observation, <br />Is witnessed without needed statistics... <br />Over studied by celebrated psychologists, <br />To prove with shared findings... <br />As to which group out of their minds, <br />Satisfies an ongoing and prolonged research. <br />Since the proof has served up the madness, <br />Effective yet denied... <br />Where the grass is kept pristine to accept. <br />But the nuts that are seen are not pecan. <br />Nor are they falling to keep hidden behind trees. <br />Or picked from the ground where peanuts are found, <br />In climates warm and with inviting sensibilities. <br />No! <br />These nuts have only one objective! <br />To appear impressive...That's all. That's it! <br />And not to address mental stability. <br />Admitting this to reveal its existence, <br />Would not appease those of proper etiquette.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
