Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Hatred is a convenient word to use.
By those who have historically abused,
The rights of others for amusement.
And expect retribution.
...

The road is clearly,
Blocked with flashing warning signs.
WARNING: DO NOT PASS.
If attempted your efforts to endeavor,
...

The support has not been,
For justice to defend it.
The support has been,
For the appearance and image of it.
...

Once one awakens,
To appreciate the knowing of 'self'...
Everything and everyone else,
Becomes more understood to accept.
...

Shameless demonic statements made,
Heard not once.
But repeatedly given support,
From those who feel themselves represented.
...

Take what you have,
And make the best of it.
To know,
If what you have had been given...
...

Normalizing evil.
In a season of joy and merriment.
Is just another message sent,
To those listening with kept faith.
...

Why would anyone,
Find it necessary...
To have another on distant shores,
Defend their misleading and deceiving...
...

I want the proof of my innocence,
Vindicated.
And the evidence of it revealed.
However...
...

We arrive to have it realized,
Some are open to accept...
Lessons to learn that never end.
And yet,
...
