Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

With their left hand over there.
Doing something completely different.
And the right hand,
Observed to be noticed...
...

A joke thought by folks.
With a head too big.
For a kid.
Black and reminded of that.
...

You, me and all of us.
Remain the product,
Of our kept thoughts.
Sought to seek dreams,
...

Mentally corrupted and sick-ish.
With people everywhere hearing something,
To be wicked.
As if purposely to have distributed,
...

Descending slowly,
Upon a consciousness.
Is an awakening of truth.
Saddled and strapped,
...

A once nourished to encourage,
The growth and effectiveness...
To begin the processs,
Of a selfish and staggering...
...

I must admit.
My entire life,
Has been spent...
Being overrun by image.
...

It wasn't meant to intend it.
Was it?
Many people living in deep sorrow.
This wasn't meant to intend it.
...

A saying to say it said.
Has been said to say it.
Heard to hear more,
To ignore.
...

Up is not down.
And what is on the left,
Accepted as is and well known.
Does not make right,
...
