Of A Higher Consciousness Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They would not give them the time of day.
Dismissing their appearance,
And every word they would say.

Then one day came along,
To elevate their importance.
And corrected beliefs that were wrong.

Now those who had been dismissed...
Are treated as if they are treasures and gifts,
To the world.

And since they've always known that,
They manage to keep their humbleness intact!
Choosing not to return the disrespect,
To them for centuries had been hurled!

They were of a higher consciousness!
While others were of gluttony.
Concerned with getting their pockets filled.
And egos to splurge with unhealthy butts that got fat!
