Beasts Admired Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If people are increasing disrespecting,
Themselves and others as seen reflected...
What are the teachers and police expected to do?

What are sermonizing priests and ministers,
Revealing from pulpits with spoken truths...
Suppose to do when those nodding their heads,
Refuse to use and pursue the truth.

What is throwing money on a wound suppose to heal?
If people continue to abuse themselves,
With a spending of time doing exactly what they feel.

Ignorance and divisions,
Have become as common as flea markets and shopping...
For deals at a local mall.
And those who know the right from wrong,
Could care less as long as their interests stay strong.

And beasts admired,
Are often impeccably dressed to impress.
And 'if' these influences are kept advocated to address,
What are people expectingm when monsters amongst them...
Have been accepted like the rest?

If people are increasing disrespecting,
Themselves and others as seen reflected...
What are the teachers and police expected to do?
Keep repeating lessons no one learns...
As they attempt to correct their perceptions and attitudes too?
