When ideals are favored. <br />The truth shall be abandon for things better savored. <br />As it sometimes brings nothing but disgust. <br />A bitter taste you can't get out no matter how hard you try. <br />A spitting upon the pavement until memories fade. <br />How could we ever allow it? <br />A ignorant denial when we know it's going on all the time. <br />A religious belief of the out sight and out of mind. <br />Silence we tell them everything is fine, <br />A justification to investigate things in house, <br />As if their wouldn't be any bias, <br />A dismissive response to anyone speaks up. <br />It didn't happen. <br />You now have to leave because we have found nothing to substantiate your accusations, <br />With you gone so will be the problem. <br />But the root never being pulled it will resurface again and again, <br />It something that we can not defend. <br />Their nothing so righteous in existence. <br />That we should completely ignore something so wrong, <br />We can't stain such a precious name. <br />Letters etched upon history. <br />Read it out aloud and be proud of what he was. <br />Never mind what occurred under his rule. <br />Such is the clout of fame.<br /><br />Ace Of Black Hearts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anti-prejudice-poem-clout-of-fame/
