Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What upsets and unnerves,
To become clearly revealed...
Is the doing of someone,
More sensible than others feel.
...

If we could just replace to rid
All facelifts.
And return to basics.
With them prioritized.
...

It isn't easy,
To be thought a MOOR...
Amongst adored mulattos.
Or fair of skin Negros,
...

Knowledge to obtain it,
Is not assumed to get.
Nor is wisdom,
From a grab bag snatched.
...

Either this connection,
Is getting more defective.
With no urgency to correct.
Or is it suggested,
...

When we all stop pretending,
Problems created...
We initiated to bait.
Yet...
...

It ain't cool,
To select and pick enemies.
Wherever one goes.
And proving with excuses,
...

Sitting stupored on stoops.
Aging 'boys',
In separate groups.
Daily gather to visit,
...

Unchangeable faith,
Kept believed needs...
Patience to tolerate,
Sacrificing the temptation...
...

Politics have become...
Similar with little difference,
From...
Idealistic and symbolized,
...
