Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Stop crawling to the middle of it.
To prove to anyone you are confident.
Don't be that dude,
To become the one who's battered.
...

No decade will 'ever',
Come close to what the 70's...
Exposed to implement,
With a diversity to create.
...

Only those who recommend and suggest,
What others should do...
Seem to spend a lot of time in this effort.
But have not implemented the doing themselves...
...

Relationships begin hopefully not to end.
In confrontation.
When arguments start to solve nothing at all,
What point is being made?
...

Healing from an ache is a big deal.
To maneuver skipping over many hurdles.
And doing what it takes is a big deal,
When a mending from a heart that breaks...
...

Scammed to depths deep and chased.
And so far away from common sense,
Its distance has retired the thought process...
As a normal and accepted occurrence in the void.
...

When one travels alone,
And not from views high on a saddle...
Adventures are experienced,
Close to brush against and to touch.
...

The bottom line is this...
And anyone can predict the outcome.
With expected unquestioned results.
...

From my mind you had to leave,
And go.
Away...
From me.
...

Unfortunate it is in todays' climate,
In which fences and bridges are being renovated...
To dismiss divisions and biases,
That there are people who still interpret...
...
