Politically produced proletarian pain pervades;
performative patriots passively permit the plague;
policies presented for plutocratic purposes;
predators prevail over powerless plebeians;
preachers pontificate at podiums for proceeds;
philanthropists pantomime pathos for public perception; prognosticators predict perdition;
police populate prisons for profit;
pedophiles placed on pedestals;
pacifist persuasions promoted by priests and pastors pacify public passions;
pawns positioned for protection pulverized en passant; 
private property prevents posterity for the poor; pragmatic publications purged;
planetary pollution;
puritanical philosophies; 
persecuted petitioners;
pardoned perpetrators;  
presidential prerogatives;
pedagogical practices pervert the past;
protected pockets of the pale-skinned privileged; 
patrilineal Protestants preach purification; 
pundits parrot propaganda.

Prejudice persists. 

Power prohibits peace.
