Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Who was it,
Among those self anointed...
To declare themselves,
Brilliant and all knowing.
...

Politicized,
Has been a greatness.
Sought to worship.
And praised.
...

Made to stop and watch reality.
And actually observing,
Who it is that makes...
The feeling of being entitled,
...

Once the running has been done.
To jump onto a crowded bandwagon.
No one on it should begin to complain,
About a decision made...
...

Children.
Dressed as adults.
Playing games of war.
Ignored for the cuteness of it.
...

Protesting the testing,
Of an image to idolize.
And not its substance.
Done to examine or scrutinize.
...

You, me and many others too.
Are living in times,
When a normalcy wished most wanted...
Has had more distractions.
...

More are today wanting,
What the 'before'...
Had been and meant to them.
To again ignore,
...

Mental.
Physical and greed abuses.
Has begun to expose,
What entitlements put on hold...
...

Proper protocols.
To follow at any cost.
Is a lesson to learn.
After mistakes made,
...
