Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The younger generation,
May reflect unacceptable behavior.
And with language that disrespects,
Those composed with proper etiquette.
...

Anyone believing my creativity,
I do not take seriously...
Would have to take the 61 years,
Of my active and documented participation...
...

Sometimes the exclusion of one with a purpose,
Intentionally unmentioned with a doing done...
Gets more attention from those who are curious,
As to why some are given a rise to heights...
...

The seeking to ignore and silence those outspoken,
Has been found to be a detriment...
To the ones believing,
A truth heard one speaks affects an environment...
...

Now that the crushing has been successful...
Everything is going to plunge!

Lifestyles and the quality of them,
...

Open your eyes.
Rise above your fears.
That faith 'claimed' you have...
It is time to put it into action.
...

Everyone will feel pinched.
By a grinch on the loose.
This festive holiday season...
Has a sputtering train on the tracks.
...

I remembered being 'tagged' smart.
And intelligent.
Not only to make me feel different...
But to 'label' my qualities.
...

This first Monday in December,
Comes with a beauty none like I can remember.

The Sun so bright in a cloudless sky.
...

You're too snooty,
For me to want your booty.
Scented fresh?
I could care less.
...
