Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

How to...
Demonstrate love!
And,
How to...
...

Should I reconsider my obstinance?
With the acknowledgement,
That a bolder world...
Appears on the threshold.
...

There is nothing like,
Living our lives...
Through the eyes,
Of our own 'grown' children.
...

There is something wanted.
But,
With a low expectation.
...

They can call it,
Roasted turkey.

Defeated Wizard of Gloss.
...

A product of their own precise agendas,
And priorities they have put into place.
Any mention of their erroneous ways,
Or brushed aside mistakes...
...

Those validating a physicality,
As the utmost reality in their heads.
Are not into conversation.
They are seeking,
...

To validate someone else's insecurities,
Seems such an injustice...
To bestow on another,
With an approval done of their limitations.
...

I don't care what it is one has done,
People currently doing it...
Will attest that their interest,
Has made what has been done,
...

I am not surprised at all,
That today there seems to be...
A lack of comprehension centered,
Around one's identity with a dignity not flaunted.
...
