Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

He came along to make claims.
And now his time has passed.
How history depicts and treats him...
Depends on who is in charge,
...

People of ignorance,
Can become totally ridiculous.
They mask their petty jealousies...
To hide a disguised insecurity.
...

The same folks who do not believe
Life can exist on other planets
In this vast universe
Are the same folks who accept
...

Why now you all up in my 'grill'?

You've dropped my heart,
That stopped.
...

What is it that you wish to accomplish,
In my space?

Mimics or mocking done,
...

I don't see how you can eat that meat.
Ripe and dripping moisture licked.
And oozing a rich nectar...
To satisfy your inviting tongue.
...

Caught up in the nonsense.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.

And waiting for some annoucement...
...

To acknowledge that I 'am'
Who I 'am' and in the 'now'
Of my life!
Is for me a major achievement.
...

The petty zest and zealers,
Are going to be there.
They will not be pleased,
If there is nothing to despair.
...

Did you dropp your smile?
Something is missing on your face.
And I know I haven't seen that in a while.
...
