Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

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

It has happened too frequently,
With it done to often...
That those who have shown,
To be thoughtless but later regret...
...

You wish to tie me down,
To a host of your excuses lived.
And I refuse to have any part of this.
Whether you choose to do or not,
...

You are correct.
No I don't know you.
Nor am I obsessed,
With the thought...
...

Mumbled whispers,
Always find their way...
To ears focused,
On treasured nonsense...
...

Judge me all you want.
That doesn't bother me one bit.
I've already done that self examining thing.
With an assessment of every blemish I have...
...

Within this Majesticness,
Reflecting.
A presence of being...
To breathe a self examining acknowledgement,
...

You wish to mention,
My flaws are faulted?
Yet somehow that motivates me...
To expose them even more!
...

Just a few topics left...
To choose by the hosts of radio talk shows.
They do their best to discredit leaders selected.
Especially those of competence!
...

They would like it,
With cream and berries
Topped with a lollipop!
...
