Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

People have become too complacent.
With a caring not to listen.
Or a caring done to comprehend!
Believing a sleepwalk exercised...
...

It is all in the open now!
And I hope you are not feeling,
Too ridiculous.
...

We sit and wish to free ourselves,
From the ease to fall into the grips of lamenting.
Part of life is to be shakened up a bit emotionally.
And that is the only sense we can not transfer.
...

There is a lot to uncover,
In the 'discovery' of self!
And 'that' is such a great experience.
It's the ultimate 'high'.
...

At one time...
One would have to beg grocers
To get collard greens in their stores.
Now the major food chains,
...

There is so much incentive,
For one who reinvents!
There is an exploration done...
For many that makes no sense.
...

Aren't you tired of the folks who pass judgement?
You know the ones...
Quick to tell you how you should live
Always taking handouts from those they take for granted,
...

There are those who have chosen,
To go out of their way...
With a doing kept believed,
To pick on someone else they perceive...
...

What's meant to be kept private.
And left within walls thought protected,
By closed and locked doors...
Seems to often find its way to be whispered,
...

You can if it is wished,
Make attempts to touch this.
But through the wilderness,
And with kept faith...
...
