It can become such a foolish waste... <br />To chase someone who gets things done. <br />With a hope for a clue, <br />That will reveal a preview. <br />Complete with blueprinted details, <br />And freed of obstacles as this is overviewed. <br /> <br />Folks on a mission... <br />Aren't out making announcements. <br />Not for attention or steps taken to blurt. <br />They are conditioned with discipline. <br />And challenged to do something, <br />With their lives experienced here on Earth. <br /> <br />Whether or not they deserve praise... <br />Isn't an issue they themselves raise. <br />They are motivated to accomplish! <br />That is why most people like this, <br />Are often thought of to be crazed! <br />And often are... <br />Dismissed. <br /> <br />And many of them seem quickly evaluated, <br />To be out of their minds. <br />And unrestricted by set limits... <br />Others find comforting to hide securely behind. <br /> <br />Like a pretense some embrace, <br />They have no traces of abnormalcy! <br />With lots of company defending their 'common sense' with them. <br />While finding themselves to be commonly undecisive... <br />As they join others of similar desires, <br />Clinging and straddling... <br />With approved mindsets, <br />Sitting to discuss their opinions. <br /> <br />Like an image of a row of Crows, <br />Who judge squawking. <br />Noisely! <br />From nearby trees. <br />Or from their perch on fences.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
