Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Healing from an ache is a big deal.
To maneuver skipping over many hurdles.
And doing what it takes is a big deal,
When a mending from a heart that breaks...
...

If you understood to understand,
With an acceptance to comprehend...
Why do you persist with your protesting,
Against what has been existing?
...

Being relevant AND adventuresome,
With a doing to ignore the welcoming of limits...
Others repeatedly explore to prioritize their existence,
Often offends those less experienced.
...

Whose innocence is left unaffected to protect?
Whose tender ears and covered eyes,
Have not yet peeped to hear in whispers...
Someone deceiving another with lies?
...

On and on...
I'll keep believing,
On and on...
My faith's my rock!
...

The moment you began to assess,
Where I lived and how I dressed...
And my choice to choose,
The mode of public transportation...
...

There are more who are mythed,
By a reality for them that doesn't exist...
Than there are those,
With minds of a higher consciousness...
...

Class factors kept intact,
Satisfies a doing of benefactors.
Class factors kept intact,
Eliminates the need of explanations.
...

The bottom line is this...
And anyone can predict the outcome.
With expected unquestioned results.
...

From my mind you had to leave,
And go.
Away...
From me.
...
