Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Shameless, appalling, disgusting.

"What is? "
...

And...
Again.
Ladies and gentlemen.
They're off.
...

It could have been fixed.
But those who noticed it broken,
And happening to others.
Ignored what they believed,
...

It seems...
So many these days,
Have their own version of reality.
From which to pick.
...

What those who claim,
Not to be racist but are...
Fear most.
Is a losing of an influence.
...

The press.
Expressed.
To be the enemy,
Of law abiding people.
...

Historic evidence has proven,
Advanced civilizations...
Mysteriously come to abrupt ends.
To discover under rubble uncovered,
...

With such ugliness heard these days,
Spewed from podiums given...
The attention to preach.
Should have everyone focused,
...

Sustained to maintain.
It's kept to...
Maintain to sustain.
...

What is to be to occur,
Has no one to then...
Argue about what began.
To have had it happen.
...
