Let's Compare Notes Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Let's compare notes.

At one time you had said,
My comments provoked!
And you denounced,
Those words I spoke!

Let's compare notes.

Today you raise the same concerns.
And yet you say to others...
With the same words they have already heard.
But now you have a broader consciousness.

Let's compare notes!

What you say today,
Is 'intended' to provoke.
But you believe there should be an exception...
Since 'you' have been awakened from a deep sleep.
