In Broad Daylight Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They set out to make changes.
And who would be selected,
To best represent them...
When those changes made came,
With an effectiveness done.
to leave a presence of wickedness,
with more of it promised to come.

They downsized to outsource,
Assorted jobs taken from certain ones.
But few doing this with a consciousness,
Could not see beyond the horizon...
Of that which was to be undone.

And today with their quality of life,
Chipped away everyday and in broad daylight...
They would like to have mended divisions to end.
But those who kept their common sense,
Have begun to question and with clarity...
Whose interest is pretended to be focused upon,
Yet again?
Those who stayed loyal but their eyes are now opened?
Opened to wide to recognize lies meant.
