Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Look.

'At what? '
...

Interesting.
Thought provoking.
And provocative...
With a stimulating flair.
...

Afflicted with compassion.
Although some prefer to call this outbrust...
A manipulating.
...

As long as people have been enforced to perceive,
That the truth as they know it to be...
Is a manmade 'commodity'.
And 'not' through daily meditation,
...

Lance?
What enhanced designer drug,
Are you now on?
When viewers are riveted,
...

More than a few are shedding tears.
And...
The others that are standing near,
Appear to be lost of goals.
...

Those with embellished delusions,
About keeping entitlements...
Perceived to be constitutionally amended,
To protect them and their rights...
...

Park the car.
Get on a public transit bus.
Ride it for two weeks,
To prove you believe in diversity.
...

Between fiscal cliffs and threatening flus.
Self righteous, religious lip givers,
And morally corrupted fanatics...
Expressing a forgiveness wished from pulpits.
...

There is nothing.
Absolutely nothing at all,
That compares to the repair...
Of a broken heart that has been mended,
...
