Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Something agreed upon by some,
That makes absolutely no sense...
To the one who grows tired
Of convincing and listening to others
...

I made my peace,
With that beast I hid!
I could not keep a self hate
That choked me.
...

Hey you?
Yes you...
Sweet stuff.
Bold and vivacious,
...

Inside me is this feeling,
I've just got to share.
This love I have inside of me...
Travels freely everywhere.
...

The only ones denying,
Racism exists...
Are those with free passes to DisneyWorld,
And twisted with beliefs
...

If it was not wished...
It would not exist!
And since it is here,
Those wishes...
...

Every breath I breathe,
Is excitement filled!
Someone suggested...
I was 'over the hill'!
...

There is no special wand
To hand out and wave...
To dissolve obstacles
Blocking your way.
...

How many minutes does it take
To turn off the heat?
Make amends
And mutually retreat from this...
...

When imbeciles are encouraged,
They take pride in the mounting of ignorance.
Listening to others is a joke to them.
They have ridiculous actions figured out!
...
