Like No Other That Identifies Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

He is not attacked because he is right.
He is attacked because he dares to be right.

He dares to defy those on the side of lies.
And eyes wide open need not to have experience...
To observe the divisiveness within them that exist!

They wish to remain addicted to this.
This 'fix' applied to their ignorance,
It is much too expensive!
Although it is an observation,
They prefer to keep secretly well hidden.

And he does not have to be black at all.
To point out these facts...
Backtracking on a progress,
That remains historically stalled!
He could be of any color.
But he is not easily the one sidetracked.

And those who follow him agree...
He is like no other that identifies...
With the need to move forward,
Desperately!
