Beneficial Is Common Sense Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When that day happens,
To have it explained...
Without anyone to doubt,
What is understood to comprehend.
And left to understand,
How this Earth can rotate as it does.
Allowing all that inhabits it,
To ignore and take for granted...
This done permits them life to live,
As we know this to exist.
Then those who claim to be,
Scientists, psychologists.
Philosophers, poets,
And know it all...
Politicians making decisions,
Not to end division or conflicts started...
Benefitting nothing but more nonsense.

When that day comes to happen.
With everyone to realize,
Just how fragile their lives and existence is.
Perhaps 'then' and only then,
Will they awaken with a higher consciousness.
And stop to think,
That 'whatever' or 'Whomever'...
Created All of this has got to know,
Patience and tolerance to have it...
Is for them,
Not a forever 'thing'.
For anyone to believe...
What they do on a daily basis to create havoc,
Can come to an end for 'Them' not to have it.
Without it to bluff or threaten to do!
And quicker than blowing out,
The burning of a candle wick!

"Perhaps...
We should give more thought,
To the decisions we make.
Maybe we should begin to use our minds.
Instead of being petty.
And emotional about everything.
You know...
Done with a using of common sense.
Less expensive this would be.
And...
Check this out.
Done to use resources,
For the betterment of humanity.
Afterall...
This is much more beneficial."

-Really?
You think? -
