Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When people begin to connect,
The affects their actions have on others...
To accept what they get in return,
Lessons will be learned to never forget.
...

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

She knew and understood,
The man I would today become.
And even though I rebelled,
With a doing done when I was young...
...

Creating the crime,
Has progressed opportunities.
And those resenting these times we live,
Are not seeking too deeply...
...

Dahddy?

'Was is this with that 'dahddy' business? '
...

People without patience,
Can not appreciate the having of peace...
To comprehend the meaning of it.
Or to show it from them,
...

To become fully awakened,
By consciousness...
Is a dangerous journey,
For anyone who begins their first steps...
...

Ferguson?
Just another place,
Where racism exists.
And historically...
...

The escalation of fear,
To justify an acceptance of madness...
Should make it increasingly clear,
Of a mindset infected...
...

Fireflies in the night-time...
Light your eyes.
I am like an owl aroused,
By oodles of full moonlight.
...
