Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I understand the origin of your confusion.
But unlike the others,
I am not devoting my life
To the comprehension of it.
...

Do the fresh voices heard,
Enhance to inspire...
The encouragement of higher consciousness?
Deceit can not seem to smother.
...

When an immature mentality,
Becomes an accepted part of one's personality...
It stunts a growth process,
Observed in an environment...
...

What ammunition do 'I' use?

Truth.
Truth as I observe it to be.
...

When one opens one's mouth to lie,
They show a disrespect.
And when they choose to do this...
Feelings for them grow less.
...

The attempted butchering,
Of an intelligence of one...
May seem to be effective,
By one who believes achieves...
...

Pick up those feet and leap!
Believe you can conquer,
Over obstacles to defeat.
With a beating done to erase and cease.
...

Two who once shared a harmony,
Now together
Sharing grief!
...

They will come to accuse anyone,
Of being...
Less of the person than they are!
That's the tactic that is used,
...

I'm not here to kiss your 'boo boo'.
I am here to put my foot up your rear end.
I am here to bring a stinging of reality.
With a hope to knock you away...
...
