Lawrence S. Pertillar Negativity Poems

Serpents everywhere,
Are fighting for the right...
To incite their evil.
Representing all races,
...

Many people.
Not some.
Or a few.
Are often heard to say,
...

Those who have grown experiencing,
Getting older.
And now the elders,
In their youthful appearing communities.
...

For decades a created,
Atmosphere of negativity...
Had been instigated.
By the very ones who now complain,
...

Determination is all the success one needs.
That inspires motivation to accomplish,
What it is that keeps the initiative fed...
With an incentive to prove to oneself,
...

More to us is done.
To understand.
What it is we do,
Is in our hands.
...

I have no appetite for negativity.
Division or racist hatred.
Marinated in heated debates.
Although others persist,
...

Avoid negativity.
Do this,
By refusing to swim with...
But against the high tide,
...

With a kept mind left to leave open,
To faith and hope...
Cleared of negativity,
Heard to receive to believe it...
...

Naysayers have begun to lose,
Their influential ways of paving roads of negativity.
More people begin to see,
Evil inflicted intentionally on the decrease.
...

Life gets better.
When one feels deserving.
To know how blessed one is.
After healing from doubt.
...

What can be said,
About a force of negativity used...
That has proven itself,
To be a foolish tool observed by all...
...

Today's presentation of negativity,
Is no longer a field trip...
Taken by those curious,
To visit those living in destitution...
...
