Oj Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Even though he was loved,
And some find him still charming.
There is something about him,
Many find alarming.
Is he to be admired?
Or locked away as a jerk?
He reflects everything we are!
We worship false idols...
And praise jocks as superstars!
We support dysfunctions,
With the backing of Wall Street.
And attention is focused on OJ's movements...
Increasing his stature,
As done with crooked priests.
To say we live in unbelievable times...
Just look around and it will be easy to find,
Insanity is idolized!
And those left 'sane' are suspect of crimes!
That's not to say OJ is in 'his' right mind!
He is part of who 'we' are...
Should we all be in straitjackets?
And leave a blind justice behind?
Since all of us are being duped,
By the absence of truth and honesty...
That has long been confined?
