Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A goodness to have had,
Wanting it back...
Again!
Many should ask,
...

Bad?
Oh...
Much worse than that.
...

Incredible it may be,
That so many remain incapable...
To accept the rapid changes,
Of a reality staying.
...

We all are on the field of battle.
Good versus evil.
Hoping the reversing of expectations,
Beings to eliminate,
...

There are many living to choose,
Of doing good deeds.
For others without this to ask.
Or expecting to receive,
...

Deciding to choose,
To be who one is.
Despite the sight of opposition.
One comes to face,
...

We may all view this World,
From places of different visions.
However...
To hear a delivery of sincere words,
...

If the color of one's skin,
Has been made your main issue...
Kept on your mind.
To keep you feeling,
...

Thoughtlessness accepted.
With a disrespect to expect.
A dignity and identity,
Yet perceived to be arrogant.
...

Nothing...
Is better than knowing.
Who it is...
One should not trust.
...
