Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When the Creator speaks,
And those who choose to walk in faith...
Stop to meditate and concentrate,
On that message being delivered...
...

Protective become those labels to give.
Defined to identify,
Attachments to keep that which is accepted.
With perceptions kept to further limit.
...

Champions of color,
Must prove themselves...
Superior in ways,
Than the programming created
...

Living a life more to do,
To make impressions...
Often will come to those,
Realizing to learn too late...
...

Not to take commitment ceremonies,
Seriously.
Or feel them felt deeply,
In the exchanging of vows...
...

All things were finalized.
And then the people realized,
Their self-indulgence had them enclosed.
But too late,
...

No one misses a distance,
They have yet to travel.
Or can the experience of it,
Be remembered to reminisce...
...

So much more there is to life.
To love.
With appreciation.
And just to like.
...

Once one's own actions,
Have been accepted to acknowledge...
That unexplained negativity,
One creates...
...

How do you intend to deliver your speech?
With it done uninterrupted,
And attention given to you successfully?
Aren't you expecting to offend,
...
