Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am tired of boxing cocky foxes,
With their sweetened smiles and greased tongues.
I'm through with slinging to fling mud in the ring,
With a fighting against those sly who lie...
...

People like you,
ALWAYS think they know everything.
You 'act' too arrogant.
As if you had to experienced,
...

One never knows,
What 'truths' are left standing.
When so much depends,
Upon lies...
...

If anyone wants to be taken seriously,
Investing first in gaining crediblity...
Is strongly suggested and advisable.
Since adopting a fast track way,
...

It is quite wonderful,
You would want the beliefs you keep...
To be correct.
I think it to be commendable.
...

If you happen to live in a place,
That is shallowed...
And nourishes the antics of busy bodies.
Feed their activities.
...

There is too much hypocrisy expressed,
In religion.
Too much division in it too...
For it to go unobserved.
...

Can you believe the speed by which people seem,
To be losing their minds today?
And the acceptance of it?
Can you believe this?
...

Know your feelings.
Sit and visit with them.
Become familiar.
And...
...

If education had been a priority,
Its connection to greatness...
Would not have been an elective,
For the selective chosen few to possess.
