Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Many years ago.
Before lies to tell,
Became white when told.
They were sweet nothings.
...

Anyone who has learned how to follow.
And accept taking responsibility for their own actions.
With being dependable, accountable and disciplined.
Will most likely refuse taking a position of leadership.
...

One's ignorance kept is self inflicted.
And a choice made to stay that way.
Limited with this sought to be approved.
With it to believe,
...

Out of hiding from all over.
The witches have come.
To join in on the hunt.
Hoping to find who it is,
...

You are correct.
And with you we do agree.
A public embarrassment,
To have displayed intentionally.
...

Freedoms to erase and replace them.
With racism to bait it.
As truth is removed,
To once had been a tool to use.
...

Few now can say,
There has been no progress.
Witnessed to see it being made today.
Yesterday?
...

There are many who have spent,
Their entire lives telling lies.
And find when the time comes,
Just how difficult it is to deny them.
...

Acceptance with images kept.
Within a mindset to reflect upon.
Develops preferences to expect.
As disappointments arrive.
...

Push me back.
From a steaming top.
About to blow a craze on me.
Push Me back, God.
...
