Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

In the freeing felt done from breezes,
I walk with a feeling to please an appetite
To enjoy the air I breathe.
And aiding with deep breaths I take,
...

It is too late,
To re-program a people taught...
They are entitled,
To disrespect without giving it a thought.
...

Getting up and leaving,
Just before the dawn.
And after making love,
With a doing made that's gone.
...

Giving up on status felt once automatic.
And representing 'bling' people use to own...
With a flaunting about and publicly shown.
...

I am not one to dispute anyone's belief!
Why should I?
Everyone seeks 'some' excuse,
To accept what they do
...

What effective measures can be used,
To correct a devastation...
By the ones who implemented,
What today everyone is forced to face.
...

I do not peddle to sell familiar flavors.
Too boring is the deed.
In fact,
Some expecting my most vivid colors
...

What makes you think,
You can play me cheap.
Like a bootlegged DVD,
And get away with it?
...

This is what I've learned about living in reality
The few who choose to do it,
Become highly suspicious by those who travel
From holiday to holiday to celebrate escapes.
...

Active detractors,
Are the first to become highly incensed.
When their covert actions to divert attention,
Does not influence
...
