Bigoted Pivots Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Exploited to enjoy it.
Flag waving patriots are used as bait.
To Endorse and defend,
Values they have created.
As a reason and purpose,
To despise those of differences.
With this allowed to express hate.
And disregarded regardless,
Of who was born and where.
It is the appearance of skin color.
And also one's texture of hair.
So many are blinded by nonsense to define.
Until impressions made face to face.
Seem to erase those boundary lines.
On vacations.
In foreign nations.
Comparing possessions with impressions
made.
And sharing pictures allowed.
That erases their racist and religious,
Bigoted pivots to welcome.
To forget in minutes,
Their aggressive yet unnecessary.
Pointless and abusive inappropriate
attitudes.
To discover the benefit of exposure.
