Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When the false light of the self righteous dims,
Fades to go out.
Will beliefs of survivors clash?
Will those who were taught to trash themselves...
...

A spackling 'now' used,
Will not disguise
The appearance of cracks.
Shouldn't a wall be erected...
...

People who claim to have faith
And hide behind fears...
Are so hypocritical,
With each excuse made I hear!
...

There are times when minds,
Are kept purposely unconscious...
Or enforced to remain consciously limited,
In many urban environments...
...

Racist people,
Are the saddest these days.
Racist people,
And their ways...
...

What is brought to this table
Is experience.
Don't ask me what I bring!
It is certainly more than 'things'.
...

You've got me on a tightrope and trembling too!
This is not...
Romantic understanding.
...

They don't know what they want.
Taking indecisive jaunts...
With new personas changed,
Undaunted with flaunted aims!
...

Who do you think you are to,
Demonstrate hate.
And...
Who you think you are to,
...

People today...
Are so sincerely insincere.
Full with trite expressions
Delivered from a smile,
...
