Much To Discuss Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Mixing to match statistics to blend...
Diverse but divided communities,
Provide sightseeing tourists
An atmosphere remembered,
They can take home with them.

A season to welcome with suntans adorned,
These climates bring flavor...
To a melting pot that warms.

It would work if this deliberateness,
Was a thing seen at nightfall...
And not bar hopping during noonday trips.
People on boards and different committees,
Created to select...
A racial combination,
Not found in most cities.

And those who are chosen...
To reflect this enforced myth,
Give it a stiff start!
A naturalness observed,
Seems devoid in their hearts.

Leaving unpicked natives passing
On the sidelines to whisper...
As they point fingers,
At their own brothers and sisters.

Boarding buses after these tours end,
People are seen carrying bags of souvenirs
To bring home to family and friends!
Taking quick glimpses with much to discuss.
And happy they had worn sunglasses,
Pretending no reaction is shown
When cussing words to them are thrown! .
