Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Divisive politics?
I don't believe it.
Bigoted and rascist remarks,
Intended?
...

I'm going to make it easier for you,
To read between my lines.
Since you are convinced...
You are aware of my intentions!
...

So much easier it is,
To attack one who achieves with a doing done.
Than it is to criticize that one who does this,
To impress with plans to do.
...

To you I can only give.
What you do with my giving,
Is entirely up to you.
Once I give I refuse,
...

I'd just want to say...
Your spelling of 'considered',
Had been done in an incorrect way.
And...
...

The only people who seem to complain,
That others should be more understanding...
With a showing of a flexibility,
And a patience that condones...
...

It takes an absence felt,
For many people to realize...
What and who in their lives,
Had provided them with a significance.
...

The games being played today,
Are are old as those used...
By the kid who refuses,
Others to play ball in the schoolyard.
...

Why is it that some people are racists?

'For the same reason Zebras are black and white.'
...

Those standards one claims to have,
And valued...
Seem to be higher set and unobtainable,
When judgement on others is placed.
...
