Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Some folks need to be told,
Direct and with urgency.
Where it is they should go.
Taking away headaches they've created,
...

One with intelligence to embrace it,
Maybe more accepted to not reject.
If that intelligence more reflects,
A race of people...
...

However this misunderstanding,
Began to start.
And who misinterpreted,
My acceptance of your invitation.
...

Based upon evidence.
And collected gathered facts.
There were many at the scene,
Who witnessed the shocking attack.
...

Few have been heard,
Arguing over what is infinite.
Identity.
And who represents this best.
...

Experiences given,
The freedom to have them.
Takes risks and chances.
With disappointments to regret.
...

At the end of the day,
Listening to tolerate what others say.
Done with this from them to expect,
Their wants to wish has more significance...
...

Consciously or not.
Or awakening,
From a subconsciousness.
I would still need no one's permission,
...

A barking dog with no teeth,
Regardless how loud the bark.
Remains without teeth.
Just a loud barking dog.
...

Giving up a down to unload.
On a back to let go.
Unstrapped to abandon,
Burdens to prove them showed.
...
