Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Bad mouth bashers meet their matches.
And have begun to be dissed to dash.
As fast as one can bat an eyelash.
And not with a tongue done to do.
...

Truth is beginning to occupy a bigger space.
In the heads that have relied too long on deception.
With it discovered that a reception of it to accept,
And welcome...
...

Why have people become,
Repeatedly 'shocked'...
By the increase,
Of preventable crime and violence.
...

There is no place,
For kept bigotry and hatred.
Especially when those who inflict it,
Bring upon themselves...
...

The shaming they've done to themselves,
Increases to release a truth many see.
To openly speak about as if,
Past attempts to keep them defended...
...

So many have spent the majority of their lives...
Undermining the credibility and good deeds,
To endeavor and accomplish displayed by others.
With it attempted to have themselves feel better.
...

Protecting ongoing theft and pretentions kept,
To legitimize decepting claims of ownership...
With a sweeping sweetened need,
For a promoting to keep fantasies and hypocrisies...
...

A government of the people,
And by the people...
Representing their wishes 'exclusively',
As they are documented to present...
...

'We've grown tired of seeing,
Foreigners coming into our communities.
Taking 'our' jobs away.
To leave us with nothing.
...

I remember when truth to speak it,
And it to see...
Was not tolerated or discussed openly.
When as a child I questioned,
...
