When a mind is shut... 
Don't try to pry it open. 
It is better where it is decaying,  
Left alone. 
Leave it!  
There is hope with others showing 
Signs of response. 
Those who are replusive... 
Are already dead anyway!  
Evidence is overwhelming  
Mercy missions have ceased 
To those increasingly accepting 
Where they are with defeat!  
Afraid and avoiding,  
To reach for facts!  
To support an enriching life!  
And they will not experience that. 
They've been demoralized!  
Trapped... 
And zapped!
Lawrence S. Pertillar
