The Reality Of My Existence Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When I lifted my head,
To shake the burdens off my back...
My face was towards the Sun,
And I was off my knees
I was conditioned to bend in anguish!

I realized where that energy within me came from.
I know the source from which my blessings flow.
And although this may conflict,
With those whose lips
Are quick to quote from hypocrites...
What do I care?
The reality of my existence,
Has removed me from despair!

And ALL that IS and 'forever' shall be...
Has nothing to do what others will have me to believe!
