Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When someone decides,
To pick upon someone to belittle...
It is highly suggested and recommended,
That they first consult a psychic...
...

Could I forgive someone or anyone,
Who intentionally thrived...
On ruining the lives of others,
With a malcontent.
...

I'm sure those who have been depicted,
As having intelligence...
Don't directly intend to offend,
Those who have lived to experience life...
...

There are many experiences,
That can be considered mind altering...
With a changing of one's perspective on life.
Than just the one done someone has of being isolated,
...

If changes are purposely made,
To enhance with a forward advancement that occurs.
And positions are needed to be re-arranged,
With an effective growth process that shows...
...

We all should welcome more Sunshine,
With a hope in our hearts it remains.
To forget all those clouds that came.
...

Forgiving isn't easy.
And the doing of it,
Is difficult.
Ask anyone who has been there.
...

It is wonderful and great,
To know people are beginning...
To gather together to rally around,
The destructive effects of crime and gun violence.
...

I didn't want to say anything.
But the longer I visit,
It becomes more obvious.
...

No truth is like the truth,
One has been introduced to and knows.
It sticks and grows to rid delusions.
And follows wherever one goes,
...
