Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

So difficult it has to be,
For many to catch up...
From principles outdated.
And feeding on fast diets of all kinds.
...

These seasons come,
To feast upon our urges.
Giving us reason...
To chant in song,
...

Put down your weapons!
What do you defend?
Your right to bury natives,
Upon their own land?
...

I don't want to burst your bubble...
But when I close my eyes to pray,
I don't have imaginations of you
In the image of Jesus Christ,
...

Something agreed upon by some,
That makes absolutely no sense...
To the one who grows tired
Of convincing and listening to others
...

I made my peace,
With that beast I hid!
I could not keep a self hate
That choked me.
...

Hey you?
Yes you...
Sweet stuff.
Bold and vivacious,
...

Inside me is this feeling,
I've just got to share.
This love I have inside of me...
Travels freely everywhere.
...

The only ones denying,
Racism exists...
Are those with free passes to DisneyWorld,
And twisted with beliefs
...
