Expressed Concern And Sincerity Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Where had it been?
Expressed concern and sincerity.
Had it been mistakened,
For something else...
On a daily basis to accept.
Like...
Negligence.
Disrespect.
Mental and physical abuse.
To appreciate this more,
With alibis and excuses used.

Help us who protest,
Our misunderstanding.
Left to not comprehend.
The difference,
In impressively made public announcements.
And the reality of being disparaged.
Disenfranchised.
And treated as if commodities.
Watched and traded,
By those wealthy pocketing...
Millions they've got.
To have invested in the stock market.

With their...
Negligence.
Disrespect.
Mental and physical abuse.
To appreciate this more.
With alibis and excuses used.
And...
At whose advantage?
