Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I see it in your face...
Baybee,
I see it in your face...
Pretty when you're giving lickings.
...

With a...
Doing of the do due.
a with a...
Doing of the do due.
...

On my door,
Before the dawn awakens the dew...
You knock.
As if to be anticipated.
...

Pick any hour you choose to believe,
I am fast asleep.
With dreams of royalities.
And making acceptance speeches,
...

A writer who plays with politics,
Is not the same,
As a politician who writes...
To have people read to see it known,
...

Everything,
Must change.
Nothing,
Stays the same.
...

What has been done to leave an effectiveness,
Has left many unaccepting it...
To reject it in disbelief.
And although what has been done,
...

The one thing that upsets so many,
About reality...
Is the presence of truth.
And the existence of it.
...

So difficult it is to prevent a bandwagon,
Filled with story tellers sharing their lies...
And heading towards a cliff.
They either ignore.
...

Politicians have long abandoned,
Their constituents to represent.
Lobbyists with bottomless pockets,
Show up like candy makers...
...
