Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The very same dudes,
Who had accused me of being less than manly...
Are turning up with bloodied noses.
From activities they wish to keep 'down low'.
...

I have come right back to where I started.
Healed from a broken heart.
And determined not to be,
On the mend again.
...

Should one forgive and forget,
An intentional 'slighting' done?
The kind that is directed and meant,
From a mind in pre-meditative stages.
...

One almost has to be a self hypnotist,
To remain focus and not force...
A creativity to flow and exist.
...

Oh...
I can get into a 'zone' and just stay all day.
If the mood strikes me right.
And the love I have for writing is in the air.
...

When I speak,
I am not team motivated.
Nor am I representing a cause,
From a membership of devoted worship.
...

The comments made on racism,
Are as ridiculous as the denials.
Anyone within distance,
Of an urban area wherever it is.
...

Getting rid of the culprits,
Does little to undo those misdeeds done.
Assigning the crime doers,
To prison cells to get three meals a day...
...

Dirty politicians using people and conditions,
To confuse and deceive what is seen and believed.
But the people now admit it all of this has made them sick.
...

If you AINT seen the light...
Don'tcha bother me,
Tonight.
...
