Standing In The Light Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What is it going to take,
To see what it is...
For what it is.
And how it got that way,
To move on?
A singing of an anthem?

Or...

A total commitment,
To admit a mental sickness...
Fed by addictions,
Of an exclusive mindset...
Set in prioriticized rights,
To do as one chooses...
As one would please.

And that is not going to happen.
Even after those choices made,
Has driven all to their knees!

What is it going to take,
To see what it is...
For what it is.
And how it got that way,
To move on?

A miracle!

And those who debate today,
To save their way of life...
In a diminishing of others,
In selective conflicts...
To depict themselves as always right?
Are standing in the light,
To prevent any signs of enlightenment!
