Through Due Process Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Through due process,
Some expect a progress with success.
But through due process,
Success is not what people always get.
And have regrets...
That they followed a due process to expect,
Success.

It's through due process,
That rules are followed just to have them changed.
With a doing to explain,
A process re-arranged.
And it's the topic that becomes a processed game.
Leaving nothing to gain.

'So is the N-word,
Used appropriate when heard? '

It's just a process,
With a topic that upsets.

'So is the N-word,
Used appropriate when heard? '

It's through due process,
With a doing to express.

'So is the N-word,
Used appropriate when heard? '

It's just a process that's more gossiped,
That 'today' is absurd.

'So is the N-word,
Used appropriate when heard? '

It's through due process,
That rules are followed just to have them changed.
With a doing to explain,
A process re-arranged.
And it's the topic that becomes a processed game.
Leaving nothing to gain.

'So is the N-word,
Used appropriate when heard? '

Through due process,
Some expect a progress with success.
But through due process,
Success is not what people always get.
And have regrets...
That they followed a due process to expect,
Success.

'So it's a game that pains? '

That depends.

'So will the game ever change? '

It matters who defends...
An offending.
It matters who pretends...
An ending will offend,
Whenever who goes through a due process that begins.
