Can You Feel It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Can you feel it.
To understand and be candid.
Without a biased pride.
Hidden to deny.
Can you really feel it.
To show with a letting known,
Your prejudice has died.
And long from your mind flown.

Those who are truly modest,
Are today oddities.
Neither are they bold,
Or tongue-tied.
But live their lives decently.

Can you feel it,
A disrespect to get.
Or it heard from another,
A serving of a thoughtlessness
Delivered before they split...
To leave their,
Foolishness.

Now can you feel it,
This loss found to pay a cost.
By those who can't see...
Whatever is caught,
Returns as tossed.

Can you feel it.
Without a biased pride.
Can you feel it.
To show with a letting known,
Your prejudice has died.
And in your mind,
It's gone no longer to find.
Or kept concealed,
To pretend not real.
