Needing To Be Changed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Another ghetto rambling viewed pursued,
In self indulgent observation.
It is there and I feast my eyes.
I share with those of other visions.
Those who believe they are Hollywood fantasies.
No!
These scenes manifest themselves,
From those who create them in Washington, DC.
Administered to implement across this decaying land!
This uniformed conspiracy has been allowed to bloom...
In the ghettos.
Come take a look.
All of you suburban crooks!
Who take resources and blame victims.
But then again...
Your ignorance comes back to victimize.
Well...
Come along.
Let's take a look at your future!

They know them not
And yet they object
To my experiences.
As if they knew them at all...
And better than me.
Engaged in myth and slander.
Driven to pretend existences.
Unknowing truth as it is.
And refusing to accept it...
As it is!
This is not their realities,
As nicknames from childbirth...
Disguise identities.
And adulthood for them never comes.
Everyone wants to remain irresponsible,
And young for life!
Perhaps that is why they allow their men,
To walk around with pants as if they were in diapers...
Needing to be changed.
Grabbing their private parts,
As if they too are in some doubt why it is there!

Tour over.
You may return and await,
Your piece of this pie sliced...
As you pay the price for allowing a lack of discipline,
To entice and entertain an induced seduction...
Delivering nothing but pain without a gain.
Just more of it to come!
Enjoy.
You may be one of those who still can afford,
To make comparisons...
And remain detached.
For now.
