Gentrification Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If there is anyone disputing,
What reality to live it is.
And steps taken to introduce,
Gentrification.
With an accepted cleansing,
Updated and effectively...
To remove selected races,
From places to eliminate...
Diversity to erase it.
Welcome.
Welcome to reality.
Free to delude.
By those who refuse to believe...
Truth to deny as their way of life!

"Well...
At least this is not genocide."

-You are right.
Those wealthy and elite,
Would rather do this then call...
Their doing of it philanthropy.
Donating pennies of their abundant theft,
To disguise the depth of their greed.
Believing themselves freed from guilt.
In an anonymous supporting,
Of their endorsement to continue evil.
Inflicted.
But not directly associated with it.-
