Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Often folks are depicted,
To be less influencial than they are.
Most times than none,
This is done by relatives and friends of some.
...

If I had a choice to be spanked,
Or smothered with love.
I would care less what went on next door.
Or what activity was the more popular!
...

I could never say 'yes',
If my thoughts are 'no'.
Or welcome with a false smile.
If from that someone I wish to go!
...

If I sat with thoughts,
About what others think.
I would be dependent,
On their sentiments.
...

The old ways.
Are fading quicker...
Without hesitations made.
...

Whatever it is done you do...
Make sure it benefits.
Don't allow anything to return,
With a haunting to upset you.
...

My mind is not design to only address the best.
Although I try to hide it...
My thoughts sometimes are dirty!
My mind is not design to only address the best.
...

They would love to mask their past,
With self righteousness.
As they elevate good deeds done...
At the expense of killing someone.
...

There are those who are writers.
And others who choose to be tantrum queens.
They are the ones demanding to be rated.
Demanding their submissions be assessed.
...

Oh, Baby!
Do you think you're kinda high?
Do you think you're much too high,
To come down with us...
...
