Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Okay!
I am finally convinced.
You are madly in love with me.
...

Who or what else is next for you to address,
To again blame for a mess.
Deep rooted in unadmitted insecurities.
...

I am going to create wealth.
He wants to spread the wealth.
I am going to lower your taxes.
He wants to raise your taxes.
...

We are the curiosity of nature.
An after-thought of the Earth's creation.
And amusing it,
With our conflicts.
...

You have had a good time,
Most of your life.
As you made jokes of others...
And mocked their deprived way of life.
...

The next steps...
Will it be civil unrest?
As the reality of their ancestry...
Brings out the beast in them.
...

'I don't want to hear...
Another thing from you,
Young man!
Do you understand? '
...

Dear Santa...
It is easier for me to accept I have been scammed,
Most of my life.
Than to continue playing the same mental games,
...

Can you tell me 'why' is it,
When you make a visit to my home...
It's as if you are making a grand entrance?
And everyone has their eyes focused upon you.
...

There comes a time,
When something believed cute done...
Loses its cuteness and begins to irritate.
...
