Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Smacked and slapped against the wall,
Is not magnifique.
Although some may just enjoy...
This touch of quick awakening.
...

Finally you have found time to listen.
And I am happy that comprehension,
Has moved to the top of your list.
...

Wouldn't it be easier,
To schedule your dilemmas?
Prioritizing them for effectiveness.
Leaving those you know will repeat,
...

Why is it that those,
Once having no time to give to others...
Whether freely donating from their hearts or not,
Seem as if they have more of it.
...

Many wish for...
Love.
Many wish,
But do not get...
...

Sad? Feeling bad?
Why?
Who picked and selected,
All that you now have?
...

What is it going to take,
To see what it is...
For what it is.
And how it got that way,
...

It has become very easy for 'some' social misfits...
To blame their insecurities,
And atrocious misdeeds...
On the lack of attention given to them,
...

When the dumbing down initiated,
Has been determined completed and done...
I am hoping to make at least eye contact,
With one or two who remain in a struggle against it.
...

You constantly would ask for my opinion.
And nothing that I have suggested,
Has stuck in your head like glue.
...
