Defending Your Ability To Become Offended Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You've already planted in your head,
Not to listen to a thing I've said.
You wish to perceive and assess,
Something heard you haven't digested yet.

You've already planted in your head,
Not to listen to a thing I've said.
You wish to perceive and assess,
Something heard you haven't digested yet.

And I am to regret,
Your lack of comprehension...
After spending time with you,
Defending your ability to become offended.

Do I seem as if,
My life depends on it?

I don't believe we are on the same page,
Lifted from a book...
Written with pictures to depict life right.
You can not get beyond the cover.
Because you say the colors are loud.
And the background doesn't match...
A preferred darkness you like!
