In A U.S. Of A. Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Opportunities to prove,
You and I and others too.
Could present our very best,
To be united in a U.S. of A.
Not only to say but mean,
Today.
Has yet to reflect that diversity.
As a reality to see made believed.
Not yet.
However...
The possibilities maybe closer.
To expect.
If allowed to let it happen.
Without regret.
When those of corrupted minds,
Are finally confined.
And left behind prison bars to pay,
For crimes against humanity.
Although deceiving to portray themselves,
As wholesome dignitaries...
Of truth and honesty to pursue.
With a doing to pocket selfishly,
Their feasting of a greed to exclusively do.
In a U.S. of A. revealed to betray!
