Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They can make the same old claims,
All they want...
But the facts,
Remain unchanged.
...

I am here.
And you................are there!
Isn't the air between us fresh?
Isn't it best,
...

I am waiting for you to disappear,
To enable me to miss you.
However...
I can not do that successfully,
...

You know what you are.
Did my validation,
Confirm your findings?
Did you take a survey...
...

What's a goon?
Could that be someone
Who believes they have an intelligence
Gained from books and not from a sense,
...

Finding that which has been sought,
To ground a live wire totally confused.
And experiencing the living on assumptions,
Too much.
...

From your perspective.
How important is cultural identity?

'From my perspective?
...

Just how difficult is it,
To give without getting.
To love just to love.
To show others a kindness,
...

Too many people keep their evil disguised.
And they do.
Too many people.
Too many today being evil.
...

Today's youth are heard to say,
'People don't get me.'
With a doing little wanting pay.
'People don't get me.'
...
