Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Best it is to learn to listen.
And observe,
With undivided attention given.
Hearing the words spoken to hear,
...

The ones who 'gotta have it'.
Their way.
And addicted to bad habits.
Everyday to do their way.
...

Here it is,
The year 2020.
To witness its arrival.
...

No one should allow,
Themselves to follow blindly.
Rumors created to bait,
Others to react.
...

For anyone with eyelids,
Not cemented together with glue.
And ears to plug,
With bales of picked cotton.
...

Who wishes to refuse it wanted,
An exchange to have better health...
For wealth to get.
While oxygen to breathe it offered,
...

As incredible as it is,
To know President Obama...
Had eight years,
Of a scandal free and competent...
...

Once bright.
Illuminating.
And welcoming.
With the whitest of light.
...

Once bright.
Illuminating.
And welcoming.
With the whitest of light.
...

Those deep in dungeons.
Digging for themselves,
Even deeper holes.
With such a classless act,
