Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Has anyone seen the elite eat beets?
Has anyone ever seen them pat their feet?

Have you ever seen them groove in seats?
...

If there is any experience I've had in my life,
I am most proudest to have accomplished.
Would be my service to this country,
In the military!
...

Intimate since we met.
With no mention of it intended.
And feeling free not to defend it,
To experience this without regret.
...

Some folks believe they benefit,
By protecting their insecurities.
As if they are hidden.
And others can not see.
...

Indian Summer?
Yes it is!
And it is here for about a couple of weeks.
Then SLAM-a-LAM-a-DING DONG
...

Motivate and inspire...
Those with an insight,
Who desire to climb to heights.
...

Even those carrying pails of sand,
Would be considered nation builders.
To bring a pride and gleam to their land.
And restore a sense of dignity.
...

Violation of rights?
The only rights of those being violated,
May be those known.
To heighten suspicion.
...

Put a smile on your face.
Take your food stamps and fixed income.
And be happy you have shelter...
In a warm and safe comfortable place!
...

He,
Has not forgotten...
Where he came from.
Or the place of his birth.
...
