Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If you know who it is you are...
The best disguise will not hide you.
Let others masquerade,
With those of false charades.
...

Correction!
I did not say you were ugly.
Not in a physical way.
I meant you had ugly moments.
...

Thoughtless.
Arrogant.
Disrespectful.
And showing a high disregard,
...

What appears,
Is a clear re-introduction of reality.
You can say it's Exhibit A.
The one quickly scanned...
...

I know what it is I do.
And I want to do what I do done good.
Not well!
I want it done deliciously.
...

Don't think for one moment,
I wish to follow in your footsteps.
Or that I seek acceptance,
To 'allow' from you an approval!
...

You may moan about these times we live.
And complain about how you have been affected.
Attempt to do those very same things done,
You did yesterday!
...

Of course it hurts!
What pain inflicted doesn't?
The blood stipened from veins
Is the same that is sucked from Mother Earth.
...

Is he too old to be president?
Can a bird fly with one wing?
No one can say,
What has yet not been observed!
...

Life is much more,
Than the limitations given.
And those who chose not to see life that way?
It is okay to leave them convinced...
...
