Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You 'are' an accomplice!
If you've ever advocated hatred,
With a division that inspires.
And you've expressed a choice,
...

Once it has been discovered,
That more than a few...
Rather not be informed,
About what it is you do.
...

Why are your commentaries,
So filled with angst and cynical rhetoric?

'I like the way you put that!
...

Justified will be their own misdeeds,
Again!
And again...
Their pretensions will be sought,
...

We are at a loss to explain how this could happen.
He had been an average child.
Who hasn't skipped school.
Maybe just every once in a while?
...

Whalloped!
With a zinging zap that pows!
A punch comes with a knockout...
That wows and stops to awe a crowd.
...

A shift in blame is in full force.
And those responsible,
For creating division...
Are, of course,
...

Those suffering from their evil addictions,
Will be cured.
In fact,
A massive healing has begun.
...

Those burdens are not eased,
With an increase of intelligence.
There is a sense of responsibility,
One of wisdom can not resist.
...

There are those who stimulate,
Just by the ignorance of their agitation.
And others seeking attention,
To compensate for their lack of talent...
...
