Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If you want to get it quick.
I shoot from the hip.
Not a mumble do I grumbled,
Nor backstabbing gossiped hits.
...

Varying versions of reality...
Seem to be merging into one tight fit!
Few today have questions,
As to which beliefs are appropriate.
...

Where are my feet?
Once placed on solid ground.
Why am I now unsure of my steps?
When my eyes were directed,
...

While they've been hating with their venom,
They've been fraudulent.
With pretensions they've been imminently,
Fraudulent.
...

Slaves no more are cast upon plantations.
Indentured ventures...
Now lease once freed human beings.
Mixed with diversity embraced.
...

Go ahead assess and evaluate.
What I know already,
Has been lived.
If you wish...
...

Did you think I was just going to let you go?
Freeing you to believe,
My grieving you have achieved?
...

I'll take a side order of paranoia,
This morning.
I'll take some hash browns...
Fresh hashed from the fields.
...

If I could promote happiness...
I'd ask all sadness to flee.
Nothing but joy for everyone,
I would choose for friends
...

It is a place of routines.
A job daily done.
A town...
Where everything done,
...
