Dedicated To Outdated Times Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Dedicated,
To outdated times that have faded.
Dedicated...
Are those outraged and crazed.

People focused on skin color,
To say who is better than others...
Still live in their caves.
With minds that stay enslaved.
And some who keep their druthers,
To peek from behind closed shutters...
Are the ones who are afraid,
Of life.
To live,
Restricting them to limits.

Secluded to delude.
Exclusively and fooled...
By life,
To live...
Unhappy yet they carry this on backs.
To attract,
More sadness to unleash without the facts.

Dedicated,
To outdated times that have faded.
They're dedicated...
And exclusively kept fooled,
By life...
To live,
Restricting them to limits.
And with chips on childish shoulders,
They wish to unpack.
As if...
Others dream of this to re-enact.
As if...
People seek more sadness to attract.
As if...
Grown up kids who've been taught to attack.
They are...
Dedicated to times they want back.
