The shock of what is not, <br />Is more disturbing... <br />Than the acceptance of what is! <br />Once what is not, <br />Is stopped and dropped... <br />A reality delivered, <br />Ceases attempts... <br />To make what is not, <br />Meant to limit with intent. <br />Meant to have many consent... <br />To a controlled existence with contempt! <br /> <br />And what is 'not'... <br />Loses the attention given. <br />Loses an illusion driven, <br />To have and behold delusion. <br />And delusion and reality... <br />Do not a couple make. <br />Not today, <br />When earthquakes are shaking foundations... <br />Once believed permanent, <br />Because they were man made!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
