Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Recognize minimize limits,
From inside and decide...
To reach beyond,
That which divides.
...

The ability to acquire and purchase things,
Should not be the impetus...
That begins to establish one's self esteem.
...

How can anyone be convinced,
That the banging of their head against a wall...
Has no affect emotionally,
On the ones who may be on the other side of it.
...

Is it superficiality,
That makes some people believe...
An apology from them given to one person,
Should be gratefully received...
...

Proclaiming religious beliefs,
As a means to unleash evil deeds committed...
Throughout history as that history is perceived to be,
Is...
...

Isolated AND inclusive?
From who's point of view is this?
When reflected is division,
By those who say...
...

Disgruntled 'wannabees',
Voicing their critiques to leave...
Are unaware they motivate,
Those who await their premeditated hatred...
...

What are you doing?

'Getting a new and clearer view.'
...

So much today is being revealed,
By those who profess...
Of keeping their traditions sacred.
...

From minds the chains are gone.
From minds the chains are gone.
From minds the chains are gone.
From minds the chains are gone.
...
