Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Something strange has developed.
A creature able to interchange
Both its sex and its name came.

The best way to undermine the activities of someone?
Pretend your involvement in initiating chaos,
Had nothing to do to upset the balance...
Of something your jealousy could have avoided.

Reality has been the first casuality,
Of this war!
The moment it was attacked...
A division between visions,
...

I am sure they have different perceptions,
About how to do things right.
I am a ghetto baby.
Not a surburbanite!
...

Please don't get me bitter.
Please don't let it start.
I am a vessel of love,
This I know.
...

Craving!
An essence within my heart,
Unknown.
Craving!
...

Where IS your lover?
That significant 'other'?
You can not be here,
Without an attachment near?
...

Autistically freed...
From a conformity enforced.
And inflicted!
A society drenched with beliefs...
...

I remember before its slaughter,
Water was clean and fresh giving to life.
Now it has grown slick...
And suspect to order,
...
