Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Remaining to stay with beliefs,
One has witnessed...
To have removed obstacles,
Ilnesses to fear and personal grief...
...

Come and get this thing.
You can't leave it here just hanging.
Come and get this thing.
Take it with you to get luck.
...

Street cred,
Embedded never leaves who lives it.
Street cred,
Toughens one's skin like a rubber cover.
...

Even the ones self centered with addictions,
Will witness to observe...
Activities valued to prioritize in the past,
Losing their significance.
...

I have already seen,
With meaning and time...
To eventually digest,
Those signs appearing on my path...
...

You aint gon loiter here.
Hanging around with your friends.
Smoking weed and blunts,
To dump near my doorstep.
...

Homesick.
With drifting homeless thoughts.
Roaming pointless.
Missing purpose thoughts once had,
...

Have you been waiting for this?
With lips twisted, head tilted...
And hands on defiant hips.
Have you been waiting for this?
...

Show me what you've got,
That has updated your game.
To do.
And...
...

Many inexperienced with listening,
And the difference it makes...
To comprehend lessons taught to them,
Are seldom found listening to do this done.
...
