Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I evaluate the situation this way...
I do not have to defend my insights.
Especially if I am the one living my life,
As it has been lived.
...

One says he wants to create wealth.
And he and his friends have enough of it to prove...
This will be his priority!
While the other says he wishes to spread it.
...

If the man was not black...
They would not have any chance,
To regain from their losses!
But they don't know that.
...

People have their beliefs.
And that is to be respected.
However...
I have always admired the ones,
...

I need to know this isn't.
And if it is,
What is it? Or was?
Can this be clarified as it existed?
...

Making attempts,
To revive that which is clearly nonexisting.
And has past its usefulness...
Is sad to witness.
...

Still there will be many...
Seeking advice!
From those who continue to lead them,
Down the path of darkness.
...

I guess they thought,
Through my actions...
I sought their attention.
But how could that be?
...

Do you actually believe,
I would 'say' something you dislike?
I might!
But I wouldn't count on it.
...

'May I ask you a question? '

Sure.
