Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A race of people...
Historically intended,
To be kept lost in the wilderness...
Although consciously aware,
...

Those caught up in a display of pomp,
Are not aware of the circumstances...
One day they must repay,
While foundations they depend...
...

Those who perform,
And as 'artists' to do it...
Seek messages that are meaningful.
To then deliver effectively at thrie best.
...

It's never beneath me.
To show it above,
Those feelings that I have for you...
That exposes all my love.
...

Okay class!
Which of the following,
Expresses one with identity?
A. One with image and tries to impress.
...

It has to be admitted,
People disgruntled can gather quickly...
To decide amongst themselves whomever they wish,
To successfully dismiss.
...

Anyone with intent to offend then pretends,
What was done had been meant to be a joke...
To not provoke retaliation but laughter,
Represents the sick mindset...
...

Those who take positions to prevent,
The progress of others with an intention to convince...
This doing is meant to prove themselves powerful.
Was a foolish undertaking upon its invention.
...

A reliance on a selective short term memory,
To place blame on what occurs in one's life...
On others to excuse a consciousness,
One wishes to have accepted...
...

People who take it upon themselves,
To feel threatened by displays of intelligence...
With an expressed lack of acceptance,
That offers them a benefit they should respect...
...
