Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Teach me...
How to knock it up a notch.
Teach me...
What it is that you've got!
...

I use to hate to
Re-organize
My life
For someone...
...

'Why should I show concern to someone,
Who has not expressed that to me? '

This unheard but seen in the faces of children.
...

You took to me,
Like fish does to water.
And it was joy,
When my life had order.
...

The implementation and the planting of it,
Had been documented.
With an acknowledgement well known...
As to who had did this,
...

Impulsive!
I try my best not to be.
But I am teased by temptation.
And I sometimes easily submit.
...

A life intellectualized,
Is not a life lived.
I am here to experience it.
This life!
...

Let them have their tea with crumpets.
Sound the trumpets,
For those who seek a return of greed.
Since the leader the people selected,
...

There is nothing like watching,
A backfire taking place unexpected.
From a comfortable distance.
...

On and on...
I'll keep believing,
On and on...
My faith's my rock!
...
