Lost For Words Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Lost for words.
To know if picked,
And specifically selected.
Would not expressed the evidence collected.
With proof of truth.
That fame and fortune and the pursuit of it,
Can disturb those minds...
Mentally affected by an attention to get.
Even exploiting one's own race,
To incriminate those known to discriminate.
Just for the sake to bait racism as a cause.
Exposes the rise of mental flaws allowed.
Increasing on a daily basis.
Yet a society based upon disparities,
Injustice and known with it shown inequalities.
Makes the 'Jussie Smolletts' of the World,
Regardless of skin color or sexual preferences...
Victims of a permitted ignorance that has sickened,
Those who are quick to intellectualize in debate...
What today is advocated and taking place.
But the 'why' of it all,
Is a question no one seems able...
To bring to the table.
And present the facts for what they are.
Greed and the need to look down on others.
Is better to accomplish.
Than respect to have for all human beings.
Since this to do would mean,
Admitting to have insecure beliefs...
Fed to feed and relieve those who keep,
Delusions to worship.
Lies to tell.
With a self hatred to sell.
And doing this well to oppress others.
With a corrupting of the truth.
And doing this to stage,
An elaborate campaign to gain an attention.
And being black, white and affording the resources,
To use this to intentionally abuse others.
Is a reflection of an ego...
Who could care less,
How they do it to get...
What they want to satisfy a selfishness.
Or who is victimized 24/7.
Trying to live their lives without lies.
Or alibis to excuse,
A self obsession.
And words to hear to explain complaints,
Originating from a petty sick mind.
Become lost to find the doing a priority.
This to do,
Is for a society too involved...
In hypocrisy to delude truth.
And with pretensions to have created.
Charaded to masquerade...
To solve.
Before a greatness to keep this stated, dissolves!
