Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

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.
...

If it takes one key,
To open one door...
With opportunities awaiting,
On the other side of it.
...

Never has it ever paid,
To exaggerate what takes place...
In someone's life to incite an invitation,
To spread indignities and lies.
...

When I lift up my eyes,
To see your face...
From my weakened state,
Of mind.
...

Traveling with negative activities...
Hear them cuss a lot!
Yes, they cuss a lot.
...

Dance!
When you get the chance.
It's okay to pat your feet.
And sway as you move,
...

Is there a cultural and racial divide,
That has been as wide,
As any gap witnessed in canyons...
With a depth that is noticed,
...

Bring it on.
Don't keep it as a teaser.
Just bring it on.
You must want me on bended knee.
...
