Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You can't break my heart and run,
Believing that will stimulate...
Since you've done it to invigorate,
While you skate.
...

I'm not blocking out your knock on my door,
No more,
No.
No more,
...

Which do 'you' prefer?
The ignorant or the intelligent?
The street or the highbrow?
With or without higher consciousness?
...

They are not deceivers.
They are believers of being thieves.
When has that not been observed?
And where were those who now many claim,
...

You picked with me a fight.
You thought would be easy for you to win.
Was it my appearance,
Or the sound of my voice?
...

You can not tell folks they are nuts!
Not today.
Although their numbers growth,
To be observed in action.
...

It's quick for them to lure a dude,
Service their slutty needs...
And call him a dog!
...

I know you would love to excuse your abuses,
With apologies and visions of being reborn!

However,
...

Strutting with your stuck up butt up in the air,
Like others...
Struck by foreclosed homes in suburbia,
Appearing everywhere.
...

After one has given,
And thoughtlessness is returned.
Can another expect a forgiveness wished,
Once it has been determined...
...
