Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Reprisals?
From them?
Forget it.
...

If quality of content,
Was recognized and the issue...
There would be few in number,
Achieving any attention at all.
...

Attacking one's style of delivery,
And refusing to acknowledge the substance implied...
For purposes to keep mentalities sugarized.
Allows an atmosphere to remain cut pasted and safe.
...

Today,
Like everyday...
I'm thankful for the blessings that come!
No matter who may say they have none...
...

Mystified are many,
Looking from the outside in.
As to why people who 'appear' to be
Of the same race...
...

I want somebody worthy!
Trusting and a friend.
Someone deceit free,
And not a greedy needer.
...

By whose definition,
Have you confined my inhibitions?
As if they're set to limits,
With conditions in the mix.
...

Languished.
And yet not deprived,
Of a glimmer that brightens...
A remembered vitality.
...

Some stay in a mirror,
With nothing seen to please.
Some wish to live bigger,
To please ego needs.
...

So far to the right,
They are out of their own focus.
And inspite of what they say and do...
Only criticism of what is done,
...
