Enacted To Practice Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Re-inventing discrimination,
To eliminate it visually.
In new ways not to detect,
It blatantly displayed...
For the purpose to appease,
Social sentiments to please...
Ethics and proper etiquette,
Of what reflects accepted...
Political correctness.
May come to erase attempts,
Made to lessen...
Its public appearance.
However...
Bigotry historically taught,
Will always be thought...
As an entitlement to feel.
And kept real for the many,
Who know it enacted...
To practice it.
With its worth perhaps,
Minimized to disguise visually.
Although the task,
Does not diminish its value...
Believed from birth,
One has been chosen to have.
And in which way...
One chooses to enact its value,
Kept practiced...
Will not change the mindset,
Of beliefs affixed...
To maintain its permanence!

'We are determined...
To have 'our' beliefs,
Enforced!
Whether endorsed or not.
There will be no negotiating.
Or further,
Time wasting discussions.
As to how...
They will be enacted.
Or practice 'our' way.'

-Uh...
Again,
What about the rest of us? -

'If your names,
Do not appear on the guest list
Guess what?
We not here to respond,
As to the clarity...
Of the obvious.'
