MICHAEL MARROTTI - NEO-LIBERALISM, NO WAY

 Michael Marrotti is an author from Pittsburgh, using words instead of violence to mitigate the suffering of life in a callous world of redundancy. His primary goal is to help other people. He considers poetry to be a form of philanthropy. When he's not writing, he's volunteering at the Light Of Life homeless shelter on a weekly basis. If you appreciate the man's work, please check out his book, F.D.A. Approved Poetry, available at Amazon.

​
​You won't find me 
leaning to the left
inflicted with guilt
self-loathing
on my free time 
ashamed of the 
color of my skin


I'm not the man 
who'll endorse
exclusion of 
any race or gender


It's all about
free thinking
solidarity over 
separation


Points will be made
some sharp as a knife
I'm not here to draw blood 
my time is to be spent
like a charitable event


Pride is not a sin 
when used to benefit
the lives of the 
less fortunate
motivated by compulsion
society is all talk

​
I'm through with 
conversation
