Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Why do folks just make up stuff?
Even those who traditionally lie professionally,
And have kept it this way for centuries...
Can be noticed becoming increasingly appalled,
...

Keep it clean.
Every crack your packing.
Soap it up and down.
Rinse that dirt away.
...

The golden rule?
Those who hold and control the gold...
Will rule.
Those who disbelieve,
...

They are afraid to be discovered,
As imbeciles!
So to avoid this exposure...
Laws were amended.
...

Refresh, revive, renew...
And declare yourself,
You!
Detached and removed,
...

Freedom imitated,
Can never be a freedom...
Manifested to appreciate.
It would be underrated sooner or later.
...

You have not yet learned to survive.
I've heard you make excuses for it.
As you sit in the comfort of your parents' home.
Who provide amenities,
...

Do not release from you the need,
To uncover opportunity.
That which is within your reach.
Seek that life you wish to live!
...

You may be right.
Perhaps it is his skin color,
That is disliked most about him.
However...
...

Listen!
I do not intend to burst your bubble,
But
You are wasting your time,
...
