Racist Cowardice Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar
Racist Cowardice
He declares and speaks the truth.
Daring to clear the air...
Of polluted deceitful affairs.
Some distrust such crushing done.
Since honesty had never been delivered...
So bare that it glares,
In the face of those delusioned.
Foundations cracking,
From under false assumptions.
Stunning those fantasized,
By such reductions.
And he is qualified to lead them.
Although they wish his lips would soften.
He declares and speaks the truth to them.
Something that has not been done often...
To a nation afflicted with racist cowardice.

Sorry, but I don't like being 'lumped together' as though I am only one part of a whole. I have never behaved in this manner, and do not appreciate being thrown into a stew pot as though I were part of a whole class of racist cowards. I have known for a long time that you are black...and I am an older white gal from the South...but I haven't let that stop me from reading your work, nor commenting favorably about it both here and directly to you...So, as you can see, we don't all fit the mold....and don't appreciate being called names, any better than you would.
