Elimination Of Hearsay

Finger poppers, butt shakers...
And those fast to pat their feet,
Have embraced a new beat...
That has come to re-define a rhythm they keep,
To face.
Along with their family, friends and neighbors.
Without mistaking,
What comes for them to be replaced.

And many have discovered,
A keeping in step with reality...
Is more effectively done,
When their minds are grounded...
To that which is around them.

Allowing the elimination of hearsay,
And unfounded opinions given...
To experience a more personalized touch,
Immediately felt to be unquestioned.
These days are as serious as any plague,
With a determination to address clarity.
