Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Those proud and accepting,
Of their true identity.
Are seldom found or seen protesting,
The effective contributions made...
...

How can we co-exist.
As inhabitants of a World,
Constantly changing.
...

More these days are snoopers probing.
Like old maids,
Plucking hairs off chins.
And watching to peep,
...

-Taught to be a man.
As best as a man can be.-

She alone could not raise them.
...

Mmmm...
Tastefully flavored.
Is today's rage.
Not too spicy.
...

I didn't want it.
You did.
And when it was given to you,
You gave it away.
...

I am not an advocate,
Of any politician.
Be they Republican, Democrat.
Libertarian or Independent.
...

There are many spinoffs.
In production.
To erode a justice to corrupt.
...

What is taken for granted,
Frequently becomes ignored.
Like people who get less,
Than what has been promised.
...

When that day happens,
To have it explained...
Without anyone to doubt,
What is understood to comprehend.
...
