There are times when minds, <br />Are kept purposely unconscious... <br />Or enforced to remain consciously limited, <br />In many urban environments... <br />Where most people are left to believe, <br />That expressing a disrespecting youthfulness... <br />Is a thing done to do as a choice to choose. <br />And this reflected to expect, <br />Disregards anyone who has accepted maturity. <br />To diminish the exposing of it as not accepted to respect. <br /> <br />Since those who have progressed to accept steps to mature, <br />Are not often seen to witness a tolerating of childishness. <br />Not if the doing means being in the midst of stupidity. <br />And... <br />It directed to demean a standard one has valued, <br />To keep... <br />Regardless of who becomes offended by one's belief, <br />That becoming an adult comes with taking responsibility... <br />For one's actions to admit. <br />Although the doing of this so many make attempts to avoid.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
