For The Sake Of All Of The People Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They seek to find anything,
To represent lofty images they have of themselves.
And yet,
Opportunities to display a public mudslinging...
Seems to be their best attributes.
Similar to tactics children excuse.

And when told by those exposed to this,
By their undeniable observations,
It is then claimed they have the right to debate their differences.
No matter how misguided a definition of unity they use...
To declare this process healthy and good,
For the sake of all of the people they represent 'and' confuse.
