Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The accusers do what they have always done best!
Find someone to blame for their own mess.
Get others to agree to their false charges.
People find in time that they have been duped.
...

The choice to accept a common belief,
And not the work of research.
Has left so many in dire straits.
They who have chosen concepts...
...

South Padre Island,
Ranks among the best.
South Beach,
And those along Key West...
...

Throw them back to the wolves.
The ones released from cellblock envy.
Throw them back to the wolves.
Those who love their crime defined.
...

Everybody's pawning all their bling things.
Trying to live today on just a shoestring.
Giving in ain't easy for one thinking...
How will they survive,
...

How can an evaluation be validated,
When it has not been delivered...
To invalidate the vapidity of the validity?
Or the qualifications of the authority in question!
...

Few are who they were,
As remembered from childhood.
Familiarities are there...
Somewhere.
...

I am no politician.
I am direct.
Every blemish and flaw I have,
I accept without regret.
...

An effective ineffectiveness,
Has kept you sufficiently...
Ineffective as a test.
...

An attempt to stop the bleeding,
Of their own blood
Now dripping significantly in drops...
Appears to be futile!
...
