Out Of Which Empty Pockets? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Someone 'Has' to be,
Intercepting these messages sent.

Without an educated society,
Everyone becomes effected.
No matter what their biases.
Or standards wished by dead ancestors.

If one group prevents another,
From performing tasks to have all share...
The enrichment that is there to embrace,
All cultures with an ethnic respect given...
No respect given is observed reflected.

If some are not given an opportunity to earn a living,
Those who are selfish will pay.
In ways they will eventually lose everything.
A baker does not bake just for one family member.
Not to say their doors are opened for business!
It would be ridiculous to admit that,
AFTER,
The 'For Sale Sign' has been hung.
With tears wept and hands outstretched.

Someone 'Has' to be,
Intercepting these messages sent.
Because what is going on in your neighborhood,
Does not make practical or logical sense.
And higher taxes are solicited to do what?
Pay for entitlements?
Whose? Why?
And out of which empty pockets?
