Seen To Be Subdued Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

For what other reasons,
Would one be singled out to penalize...
For actions that have been legalized,
By those now feeling justified...
To apply their self righteousness?

Is it an arrogance they wish seen,
To be subdued?

Or is it they seek to embarrass themselves,
With a doing that is pursued.
But in the doing of this,
And with a consciousness...
They don't perceive themselves as fools.

'Are they absolutely crazy.'

Sssshhhh,
They are still debating it.
