Instead Of Promoting Self Hatred Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Instead Of Promoting Self Hatred



If their parents had reasons,
Why they disliked themselves...
Like their parents before them did.
Maybe their children would be given opportunities,
To grow to decide to respect one another...
Instead of promoting self hatred to spread to others,
Like everyone they see do in their neighborhoods.
And those 'sacred' places surrounding them,
Would not appear to be contradictions.
