Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You can not believe what is going on?
And in your disbelief,
You seek and explanation for it?
Perhaps you should ask yourself this question...
...

Escalated to aggravate,
Those with patience who once had waited.
Has many clearly witnessing...
A chipping away of that tolerance,
...

A banging of one's head observed,
Being done against a brick wall.
Appears to be painful.
...

A comfort in passing judgement on others,
Has its way of returning this activity...
Right back to those detractors.
...

When people use others,
Then make attempts...
To have those 'doing' appear as fools,
They show themselves for who they are.
...

We be...
Young.
We be...
Old.
...

They chose to take,
Another route.
In pursuit.
They would face,
...

Gone are those sad songs,
Sung begun some sang.
With the singing of those sad songs,
Gone.
...

Whatever the 'justice' is.
It is 'just us',
That seems not to be.
Represented,
...

The presentation of information known today,
Is the same information presented...
As it had been yesterday.
The difference?
...
