Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

He's not the worse we've seen,
Or this Earth has experienced...
Yet!
What he's done wont be forgettable.
...

We seek to find completeness,
From a birth of duality.
Father Sun provides us 'light'...
Mother Moon controls all fluidity!
...

You may want to avoid those twilight years,
To gain any lingering compliments that may come.
But I will say this...
If you can remember 'anything' that occured in the '30's?
...

Suddenly a wilting blooms,
When a meeting that is right
Lifts one from gloom.
Eyes once clouded,
...

They are in the business of exchanging fantasies.
No one can argue with this direction!
It is an exhausting process too long attempted.
See them for who they are!
...

I read and re-read Romans twelve.
Until it casted a spell.
And I saw myself,
And others like me.
...

A selection from trash,
Will not rescue them.
No matter how it is dressed...
To impress.
...

Did you know my heart ached?
And felt broken into pieces
When you decided to split us up.
Although I did miss you...
...

Don't act like that,
Don't!
Don't treat me like
You think I need defeating
...

An accustomed greed
Did not allow them to consolidate,
With those in need.
Those homeless without shelter.
...
