Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If a young hungry dog,
Is shown and known to bare its teeth...
Why would people repeatedly tease it,
With a throwing of fresh meat?
...

My recommended suggestion to anyone,
Claiming to have a love for writing...
Is to first establish a loving relationship
With a dictionary.
...

Some use a common denominator,
Under handed to then split.
Some use a common denominator,
To inflict confusion quick.
...

So many living today as they choose,
Seem unable to face or see the truth...
For what it is without gloss or sweetened scents.
Although,
...

The same kept rhetoric,
Pregnant yet again...
With expected effects,
To leave a difference than the rest...
...

You wont get me,
To deplete more of my energy.
While you plug up to pull out,
Leaving me none.
...

If every 'tee' is not crossed.
Or 'eye' not dotted to spot it,
What top is one expecting...
To get and achieve successfully?
...

Every word of this,
Brings with it some thought.
To pick and select,
Which ones to piece together...
...

Disadvantaged people are compared a lot,
To other people doing what they wish nonstop.
And inner city people,
Aren't considered to be equals.
...

Forget the things we both have done.
Forget our trading of nasty tongues.
Forget your second thoughts.
As I have forgotten mine.
...
