Maverick Dismissive Friction
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Maverick dismissive friction.
Thought to be unworthy,
Of serious attention given.
Although,
Seldom is a progress made...
Without rebellion.
Introducing,
The value and benefit,
That sustains a change.
Needed to remove to move on,
From a stagnating...
Malaise staying the same.
A maverick friction to dismiss,
With attempts to prevent.
And censor the doing of it.
Has been too late later to discover,
The evolving of humanity.
Paying the price to be left behind...
Others innovative of creative minds.
Using vision and insight.
And a higher consciousness to find,
A friction to dismiss mavericks...
On a separate path to take.
Are the very ones who pioneered,
What today many assume to believe...
Is a normal way of life.
That had not always been,
A normal way of life to live.
To delude and fiction,
Life to live in denial...
Guarantees progress.
By creating restrictions.
And restrictions not yet found to find,
Has been an expensive waste of time.
Only to discover,
What has been allowed to do to each other...
These days to observe and witness.
Has been a detriment man-made.
For power to grab.
And not a future to know,
What was there to have.
Unknowing or it showing.
That a past to have had to live it,
Could never create to make tomorrow...
Even greater!
Than those yesterdays,
Wishing to want them relived!
Done with a doing of ignorance in control.
To believe it everlasting!
