Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Trapped and confined.
With unbalanced queasy feelings...
Felt in these times out of alignment.
And trying too hard to fit in we do!
...

Come what may...
Pray.
Everyday...
Pray.
...

Put yourself on a diet of love.
And recognize the meaning of forgiveness.
To strengthen and not weaken.
...

You would like to find something hidden,
In my background.
To expose and despise.
Wouldn't you?
...

Some folks will say and do anything,
To keep themselves enclosed within...
Self imposing insecurities.
...

Those displaced and in heartache...
Of Haitian blood.
Severed from a flowing.
Now exposed by the power,
...

Impressed with success chasers.
Those who stand tall and proceed proudly...
To do and say what is felt and believed.
They should be held in high esteem.
...

Adore each sight from rooftops seen.
And every hill that rolls on.

From Sunrise to Sunset feel life you breathe.
...

You will get and find attention,
IF it is to someone's benefit.

You will be treated with consideration,
...

The one thing that can be said...
About those who are traumatized,
By too much reality faced on a daily basis!
Is this...
...
