Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They come in droves to protest any plans,
To have dumping sites for garbage...
Half way houses or rehabilitation centers,
Constructed near or where they live.
...

Would you let that love that's happening...
Be for you that fills a need?
Or would you stop it,
From not happening.
...

Stifling rules and laws,
Has left a life to live...
Corrupted by flaws...
As witnessed by those wishing,
...

People who are seen,
Participating in social activities...
Mocking others to demean,
Are conscious of their depictions.
...

If not for June,
My memories of Winter in December...
With a wish to witness,
The freshness of Spring March would bring...
...

Do not fool yourself with beliefs,
You have the power to prevent another's progress.
What you do is further cement your own defeat.
And in time your stagnation,
...

From the environment,
Does one get those first impressions.
And some of them like a gluing stick.
As a termite chews hidden,
...

When you give me your love...
Give me 'that' love,
You love.
Give me that love you say,
...

You came my way,
And I loved it.
You wish with me to stay,
And I love it.
...

Now that many are awakening,
To see how reality connects and works.
They are wishing to contact those dismissed,
For not being this or that.
...
