Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A sting for new revenue,
Has affected...
Those chores that smothered 'children' do.
For promised cash payments!
...

I recently discovered,
I was quick banana fed.
Having one sliced in cereal.
One in a milkshake.
...

The giving of life,
Given as blessing to receive...
Has become for some an opportunity,
To manipulate, corrupt and deceive.
...

I don't follow politics.
Nor do I religiously worship,
That which I have doubts about.
Or lay blame to complain with a frowning mouth.
...

Respect given,
With it a shown humility...
Should never be interpreted,
By anyone receiving it...
...

Drown me in your light,
And let it shine on me.
Stormy are the clouds.
So treacherous the seas.
...

Is it a misconception,
That writers read...
Other writers' works?
...

Discussed to magnify,
But no one but them knows.
No one but them knows.
No one but them knows.
...

Forgiveness to give,
Should not be a thought...
To premeditate a decision envisioned.
And then with faith,
...

Such doings can be tempting,
For one torn between participating...
In a demon's misdeeds.
To feel a seeking to get revenge,
...
