Poems by Lawrence S. Pertillar : 15473 / 16482
Whose Interests Are Being Represented
Isolated AND inclusive?
From who's point of view is this?
When reflected is division,
By those who say...
They represent common interests.
And whose interests are being represented,
When more are admitting...
A quality of life has been diminished.
And who are they distibuting invitations,
To the same people they have actively kept away.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou
Interests of the people should always be conveyed as a whole.
While divisions indeed do exist, we can not let a select elite few dictate the choices for us all.
For the majority not a minority.
Let their be no seniority.
A special interests to those deemed appropriate by the paper strewn across the sky.
Which keeps being printed with no consequences in mind.
A ride that the lines keep longer each time.
Soon no one will come for the wait itself is not worth the debate.
When the accomplishments are of single entity with no defining merits of legitimacy.
The meaning one word defines a lie spread abroad.
That is what we all know as a fraud.
