Times Like These Times Unique Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Times like these times unique,
Should give no one reason to find ignored.
Times Like these,
Arrive to shaken disbelievers awake.
With it seen how diminished,
All of us living as human beings...
Have allowed lies told and dishonesty,
Become more valued...
Than supporting truth to tell.
And a quality of life to live it.
Sold to the highest bidder.
While the ones not auctioned,
Parade in protest seeking equality.
And begin killing themselves,
Over attempts they have made to be seen...
Equal and worthy to be mistreated.
With benefits to ensure they too,
Will one day have the opportunity...
To be selfish, thoughtless, greedy.
And unconcerned about their fellow human beings.

These times like these times unique,
Have introduced clear divisions...
Between,
Heart.
Mind.
And souls sold for a profit.
