Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Irrational and radical,
It all has become.
A normalcy to have it undone.
And disappearing everyday,
...

"Join the others.
The ones doing their best.
To hush and smother up,
Their sighing and wounded tears."
...

Don't be the one to leave,
Happiness on hold.
Have it to know it had,
And live it.
...

Racism.
Hatred.
And formulated genocide,
Is the worse thing that can happen.
...

Contagion.
Once it is done.
Contagion.
No one from it can run.
...

Thoughtless.
Inconsiderate.
Ungrateful.
Selfish and egotistical.
...

Never has it ever,
Paid to assume...
The knowing of anyone.
Or something to hear,
...

I am just a vessel.
Used.
Nothing more or less,
Than a vehicle.
...

Open up that locked box.
And seal up all the peepholes.
Step outside.
Identify to realize,
...

Life threatening deceptions.
And the truth to censor it,
As if to not exist.
Can not be called,
...
