Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Keep it clean.
Every crack your packing.
Soap it up and down.
Rinse that dirt away.
...

The golden rule?
Those who hold and control the gold...
Will rule.
Those who disbelieve,
...

They are afraid to be discovered,
As imbeciles!
So to avoid this exposure...
Laws were amended.
...

You have not yet learned to survive.
I've heard you make excuses for it.
As you sit in the comfort of your parents' home.
Who provide amenities,
...

Do not release from you the need,
To uncover opportunity.
That which is within your reach.
Seek that life you wish to live!
...

Freedom imitated,
Can never be a freedom...
Manifested to appreciate.
It would be underrated sooner or later.
...

A self determination,
Could be applied more effectively...
If those hired to oversee communities,
Found their jobs to leech elsewhere.
...

The uninvited presence,
Of the new normal amongst us...
May be protested by those against it.
And those accustomed to challenging change,
...

You may be right.
Perhaps it is his skin color,
That is disliked most about him.
However...
...

Listen!
I do not intend to burst your bubble,
But
You are wasting your time,
...
