Not On My Side Of Sanity Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I like to think of it as an indictment of our society. People will admit these wrongs as seen. However... where were the majority who now speak out against this brazen activity, when the initial stages were put into place? Ignoring them? Believing them to be someone else's issues? Isolating their concerns within their comfort zones? Now, not so comforting! So they formulate 'Tea Parties' and other vigilant gatherings. To serve what purpose? A late appearance? ! Those who chose to react to today's turmoil in the way they do, do so...not because of an indifference. They do so since this is easier than to have conflict with those ignorant who uphold such nonsense as a right! And we love to protect those 'rights'! No matter who suffers from our negligence to ensure all Americans benefit. Not the greedy few who created the mess in the first place. Thank you for your comments, Mark!
