Having Access To Accept Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Having access to accept,
Without appearances...
Of bigoted biased preferences.
Can only restore,
A blemished greatness left...
Defective by neglect.
With permitted racial divisions
Kept envision,
That success achieved...
Is a taking away from others.
To leave a few who receive.

Having access accepted,
By all to not object...
To ethnicity.
Or religious beliefs,
Are steps not yet taken...
Beyond speeches made.
Or a shown extended outreach.

Having access to accept,
Removes barriers away...
From preventing dreams left.
By all who wish to benefit.
With a lifting up of others,
To know and experience...
What the true meaning to feel,
Of a greatness felt is!
