Extremely Powerful Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Those choosing to sit
And do nothing with their lives
Are extremely powerful
And this is not an accusation
This is an observation put into activation

They can toss and display their garbage
Blatantly in the streets with ease
And have meetings with authorities
To prioritize their every whim and need

With a cleaning up after them
Solicited from donations
Or other funds given to them to implement
Every entertainment diversion and whim
Just to keep them doing
Exactly as they please to appease
With a keeping of them from becoming restless

As a straining drains minds from calling them lazy
To maintain a political correctness
That has never been cost effective
Or a discipline enforce to sustain one's respect
Because this would be regarded as discrimination
