Endorsed And Supported To Teach It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It is no longer regarded,
As ignorance or stupidity.
When it becomes to be,
A way of life.
Taught to teach.
And set as a goal,
Encouraged to reach.
Nor is it considered a threat.
Displaying ignorance and stupidity,
These days?
Has become defended.
Supported and endorsed.
As if fed to feed the minds everywhere,
A feasting upon thoughtlessness.
Until all sense of consciousness is gone.
With the evidence of proof of this,
Confirmed and validated...
By those appointed to positions of leadership.
To have been known incompetent,
Ignorant and stupid.
Yet...
Representing a demographic,
Qualifying themselves entitled...
To destroy the quality of life,
For all of humanity.
Because of greed, selfishness.
And the color of one's skin.
Not only is that the height of ignorance,
But also a mentality obviously missing...
Something that has to be experimental.
You know...
Something to tolerate.
Knowing we all are a work in progress.
Some have the means to expose their defects.
While others have to accept,
Being oppressed,
By those who will never have the mentality...
To see themselves as twisted misfits.
