Preferred
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
How is it preferred,
To like it best.
Raw, rare, medium or well done.
This craze of yours..
Homemade to savor.
And flavored to taste.
How do you like it?
With or without,
Spicy hot...
Replacement race theories.
Would you rather have that topped.
And smothered over with chaos.
To devour nonstop.
And after you have fulfilled your divisions.
Done to satisfy to please your taste.
How about an unsweetened slice of reality.
To awaken more hatred,
Of truth you can not face.
Since the first bite of it,
Will ensure what had been once...
Valued to accept and protect.
Gone this too no longer will be left.
And your fears of feeling,
Forever threatened by an ethnic diversity...
Will not only be erased from your mind.
Nor a quality of life,
To leave you blinded.
With nowhere around to find it.
How would you like,
Your homemade serving preferred?
Raw, rare, medium or well done?
And...
No need to worry about the cost or price of it.
Since...
This preference of yours,
Has been approved by the management.
You hand picked to deliver,
Exactly what you wanted to get.
