Cries For Justice Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Cries for justice over injustices committed,
Are first heard to come...
From those who are quick to disrespect themselves.
With a permitting of this to be daily done.

Cries for justice from those heard who sit,
Inflicting themselves with anti-social behavior.
To laugh and joke about their own ignorance.
And doing their best not to rid it from their existence.

They believe they are entitled,
Not to comprehend or listen.
Or self-examine the ways in which they demean.

They believe themselves entitled,
To the best of life that they can get.
No matter who it is they choose to disrespect.

Cries for justice over injustices committed,
Are first heard to come...
From those who are quick to disrespect themselves.
With a permitting of this to be daily done.

Cries for justice from those heard who sit,
Inflicting themselves with anti-social behavior.
To laugh and joke about their own ignorance.
And doing their best not to rid it from their existence.

They believe themselves entitled,
No matter who it is they choose to disrespect.
They believe they are entitled,
And yet themselves they prefer to neglect.
