Victims Of Judgements Passed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Many children are encouraged to be deluded,
With a gaining to keep a self importance felt...
By their parents and/or guardians to be interpreted,
As obtaining a self esteem with a purpose.

And this behavior when they become adults,
Feeds a self righteousness for them hard to rid.
Be it self centeredness or selfishness...
The results of these teachings are very clear.

When conflicts over establishing comprehension...
Between what is earned and stolen to make claims,
As owned...
A childish mind that has been conditioned,
To accept.
Still resides inside someone grown,
Wishing to impress but just can not quite digest...
That a blatant theft is not condoned.

Yet...
That depends again,
On who has been creating the laws to defend.
And who are the victims of judgements passed,
With a doing that suppresses...
Those deemed and depicted to be of a lower class.
