Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I have been blessed with several talents,
I could have earned a dollar from.
And drove around in a Bentley...
To park in front of my home in Baldwin Hills.
...

Today,
Everyone wants to feel validated.
No matter how outrageous their ideals.
Appealing to their sensibilities has become easy,
...

Parents absent from the act,
Who expect their children...
To reflect their best efforts yet.
Teach what they get!
...

Freeze all requests for a correctedness.
Those days to do it effectively are gone.
And those who chose to stay away...
Slept unconcerned and remained that way.
...

You've had your way!
Now why do I find you in mine?
You made it a point to announce my ignorance.
You made that clear,
...

She wants a man in her life.
And when he was there in it...
She showed him how that was resented.
...

If you are not 'vibing' with the times.
With a keeping up of current events,
On multiple levels...
Get a shovel!
...

When in a roam zone,
Where does one go...
After tempers flair?
And what is left staring,
...

What has been done,
Has been done.
What has been said,
Has been said.
...

People are awakening to realize,
They've been played.
Even those paid to be biased,
To spy on others...
...
