Diversity To Market Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Why have you come to assess,
My memories...
As your best kept?
When I remember them experienced,
With you rejecting to accept...
How effective they were to take steps,
To prevent them.
And today you are seeking to claim those times,
I remember to be segregated...
You wish now to have others believe,
Had not been opposed to include diversity.
Have you discovered diversity to market,
Is more lucrative to you than not?
And you wish my appearance to window dress.
To line your pockets to still leave me paid less.
While you present another abuse of truth to delude.
