Lawrence S. Pertillar Kids Poems

There is something about protecting to keep,
A child innocent and away from reality...
Eventually makes not one bit of sense.
...

People who live each new day,
To relive a previous day...
And say,
They wish they knew what was going on.
...

Remember those lollipops we liked alot and licked.
I remember licking every bit and saving the sticks.

Remember spending nickels to get five hot rockets.
...

I can not remove those impressions made,
In my youth.
Nor can I replace misconceptions done,
Of how my growing up in the projects...
...

You may dislike me for your own reasons,
Unknown to me as you continue to do it.
But don't feel alone.
Eventually I will find some dislikes of my own,
...

There is nothing like,
Living our lives...
Through the eyes,
Of our own 'grown' children.
...

Why are you rambling?

'Why is that your concern? '
...

An effort is being made,
To clean up the foul language.
To show and display respect.
Express our appreciation...
...

Living in some places in which faking to live life,
Is essential to the people...
Has got to be witnessed.
So detrimental is deception,
...

Kids don't know this to notice it.
Kids do not notice to know this.

Commitment has never been an option given,
...

It's okay, honey.
It's just a small bruise.
I'll kiss it to make the pain go away.
Feel better?
...

Scooby doo boop.
Scooby doo boop bee doop.

Scooby doo boop.
...

Pick any hour you choose to believe,
I am fast asleep.
With dreams of royalities.
And making acceptance speeches,
...

I am not going to say,
One of my three sisters and I...
Were model children growing up.
Although we were told,
...

We knew fear but not excuses...
Where I grew up and lived as a kid.
Plus we were too competitive...
With a daring done to prove we weren't afraid.
...

Racial epithets.
Addressed to express and with effect.
Well...
Who let these kids back in the schoolyard?
...

Your tactics used,
Are old and have been seen...
To be used too many times before.
The only difference is this...
...

I have played with my children the same way,
On a daily basis.
Everyday.
And...
...
