Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The most important lessons to learn,
Many believe...
They are above them being taught to teach.
And for the ones with this misconception,
...

That same basic challenge and task,
Those with racist beliefs...
Can not seem to face or grasp.
...

Incredible as it may be,
There are people disbelieving...
The power of truth.
To continue to lie and deceive.
...

All lives should matter.
But there is only one race,
Historically treated as servants.
And disgraced by lies.
...

No explanation,
Do those bigoted...
With baited race hatred have.
For the confusion, conflicts.
...

Treating cheap tricks,
For eyes to think a cheater.
But lies to do it more.
...

People will come to make,
Their own conclusions.
And most of them will be based,
On what they have seen...
...

Anyone claiming,
To be awakened these days.
Yet surprised and shocked,
On a daily basis to find it out...
...

When you feel that a happiness,
For you has arrived.
Grab it.
Make your happiness a habit.
...

When people begin,
Taking the initiative to understand...
Only they can be the first,
More involved in their own lives.
...
