Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A degree?
I think I have a couple,
Of those worthless things myself.
A man with a mind,
...

They are killing the police,
Over dog urinations.
That is the latest commentary,
To depict a nation...
...

It is useless,
With a tinge of foolish ignorance.
To make attempts at snatching back...
Embellished moments from the past.
...

Sitting around in chats,
With those looking back...
At those 'good ole days',
Are not scenes I welcome.
...

I spent five months,
Recuperating...
From threatening life diseases.
Six weeks of total isolation,
...

I bought thin breasts of sliced chicken.
Thinking I would make a chicken soup.

So I then cut the breasts,
...

Even though I was told,
You are indeed a Rose.
I still could not tell from the scent,
Since I suffer from a recent bad head cold.
...

They've begun to remove the 'N' word.
From Tom Sawyer.
And other Mark Twain books.
...

'Giving up all attachment to love.'

That doesn't make sense.
...

We teach.
They learn.
And they pass on these lessons taught.
...
