Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The evolution process,
Rises up another notch!
And the secret building
Of detention camps...
...

...and here we are once again!
With the issue of race,
Subjecting the color of one's skin!
...

What would you do...
If suddenly you discovered,
God was pure energy,
A light force within you?
...

Take away everything I have,
Except that which I need...
To know just Your love,
To keep this yearning for You fed!
...

I've been famous...
Infamous, defamed and dismissed!
I've sat to be spat upon by a few,
To forget and forgive and then kissed!
...

Caught up they are,
Into a way of life fading.
Degraded!
They can not accept...
...

Some will get it!
Some will not.
Some blueprints are understood,
For what they are!
...

Discouragement is so overrated!
If someone chooses to be depressed...
Let them!
And leave them quick!
...

I have forgiven you.
I have!
There is no resentment,
Stirring within me that brews!
...

For centuries...
Haven't we've been tricked into believing,
'Something' of a higher intelligence
Is there to relieve us of our repeated sins...
...
