Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Blatant disrespect accepted to tolerate,
Leads to an escalation of other outrageous behavior...
Too many ignored with a hope it is a phase,
That will from them will fade.
...

Woe on shoulders,
Carried to uphold.
And enough of that...
...

Defy to deny,
With opened eyes wide to recognize...
Solicited invitations dated to bait,
Entrapment.
...

I awaken each day,
Feeling grateful and blessed.
To have had overwhelming success,
Very early in my inquisitive life.
...

Getting rid of those experienced,
To refuse what it is given to readily dismiss...
With it declared unaccepted,
As an offering to refuse to then disrespect.
...

Many suffer from,
Information overload.
And nothing can be done,
By information overload.
...

This life you have was granted,
And to live upon this planet...
Without conflict or a panic to be done.
But...
...

Adopting to adapt,
And accept responsibility...
In this day and age is courageous.
And is not the same,
...

We have allowed a con to go on.
With hopes a duping will uncover the truth.
We have allowed a con to go on.
To find the humor in it to be produced.
...

The dictates of proper etiquette and taste,
Has narrowed to appease...
A few in positions who decide what they like,
To dismiss what they perceive to be offensive.
...
