Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Some will shift their pity,
To replace it with a guilt.
And with their magnified denials,
Will profess innocence.
...

Assimilation,
Can devastate to make hate.
Assimilation,
Has no one listening in debate...
...

Give me a moment.
I want to find a specific way,
To tell you this.
...

I married into what I thought would be,
Then...
A good relationship.
And I had experienced one before,
...

I sleep well.
When under your spell.
And feeling peaceful.
...

You have no 'constitutional' rights,
To police protection.
The police are there to uphold the 'law'.
Public safety...
...

I don't want to be the one you leave.
Or be that one to know,
Those cold winds...
When I'm loosened from your hold.
...

Don't you wade,
Or dip...
To slip,
In disorder near the border.
...

I am not really into the Kardashians.
And like others who lie about this,
I must admit...
I'm into Lamar and Khloe Odom.
...

Those that have come to devote themselves,
To that which they have commited to do to achieve...
Have not done so because they thought it easy.
And there are more who believe this than few who chose to do it.
...
