As Those Unconscious Sleep Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

As Those Unconscious Sleep



If not for love of humanity,
Would they outspoken speak?
If satisfied with injustices,
Acceptable would these observances be.

Why are some thoughtful?
Why others not?
Why do many dropp their priorities,
To try to stop such inequities?

If not for love of humanity,
Would they outspoken speak?
If satisfied with injustices,
Acceptable would these observances be.

As those unconscious sleep.
Upon self righteous fantasies to keep!
These are the lives lived and wished.
To be as far away from those in need.
And complaining to others,
How those deserving have no right to exist.
How those deserving,
Should be ignored and dismissed.
