Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If the past has come to go,
As it has.
Why do so many,
Make attempts to hang onto it?
...

Improvements known needed,
And wished to realized...
To receive and get without sacrifice,
Can not be achieved to leave to debate.
...

You...
Got it to keep going on.
And you...
Got it so strong.
...

Whomever it may be that owns a key,
To open a door...
Where peace of mind is kept,
On the other side of it...
...

When truth to reveal,
Becomes suspect...
Where you live.
And deception accepted,
...

More weapons are created,
With more interest shown...
Than there is more interest seen,
By those creating with less debate...
...

Give me the right to love.
Isn't that what you desire and wish?
Isn't that what you think of as happiness?
Give me the right to also have it.
...

The best lessons taught to remember and learn,
Are those earned without options to choose...
When a healing done to overcome an ego abused,
One believed they could ignore with it left behind...
...

Old horses off course,
Prepared to enforce...
Aged endorsements,
Are not equipped to envision...
...

Subjective objectivity,
Received and reflecting acceptance...
Effective.
Is never a consideration to suspect,
...
