Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

With all that there is given,
I can not digest...
To say I fully comprehend,
Before beginning...
...

You have no idea,
What you've done.
You have no idea...
None.
...

Big, bigger, bigger, big, big, big!
Big are they in the making,
Of a raucous that disrupts.
And...
...

Only in the making of movies,
Are actors found to be handed scripts.
To then learn lines some find to be tedious.
And time well spent is sacrificed to deliver,
...

One's enjoyment to do what one does,
May be easy for others to critique...
As if this authority to do this,
Had to them been given using limited skills...
...

I don't know why,
You believed I was older than you.
I use to be.
But you and aging have become much closer.
...

Not a word from my lips,
Would have a need to be regarded...
As embellishments to interpret.
Since facts to document,
...

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.
...
