Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The doing you did has been done.
To accept as is or not.
You can choose to admit,
What you did was done to do.
...

A wisdom to earn to get and keep,
Takes a life to live overcoming mistakes.
With a facing of many obstacles to rid.
And mending from heartache is not easy.
...

Removing a symbolized representation,
Of an embedded practice that continues a hatred...
Will never change from what is taught to teach.
Or become erased from minds confined,
...

Why is it...
That those claiming to be,
Superior over others...
Feel it their mission,
...

That day comes,
When everyone discovers it to find...
That friendships are gifts to be given,
With them meant shared to protect.
...

If I may take the time,
To express what I have witnessed...
Not to go away but stays on my mind,
About those who solicit, endorse and campaign...
...

Do you gossip.
Playing possum all day long.

Ready to dump that junk.
...

Corrosion.
Knee deep,
In corrosion.
Kept to keep,
...

In defense of ignorance.
Who can not say,
They once embraced ignorance...
Or some form of it to know it well.
...

Perception fascinates imaginations.
Even when the presenting of the facts,
Have been revealed.
Perceptions marketed to hype and sell,
...
