Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Those catty backstabbers,
Can spit out hair balls...
With exposing their claws,
To begin a wicked dish.
...

Severe is the pain they keep deep in their hearts.
Severe is the agony that keeps them apart.
Although neither will admit it to quit or say,
Just how severe.
...

Is it too extreme to be certain and direct?
Would the doing of this be considered offensive?
And one should reflect in retrospect?
To leave doubts alone and questions to rest?
...

If an insistence persists,
As to what has been 'imposed'...
On minds to accept and believe,
As correct values and standards to uphold...
...

All day,
The people are praying...
To heal from sickness,
For them that exists.
...

It must be awful to feel betrayed,
Or...
Underestimated!
With feelings to vindicate...
...

The 'word' is the word.
Whether it is heard,
Or the hearing of it is ignored.
The purpose of it is to comprehend.
...

A decision to park and drive
Anyway one pleases
In a relationship of two
When one chooses to stop and go
...

You want clarity?
That's perfectly fine with me.
...

One has to listen to comprehend.
And one has to interact with others,
With a respect given and it given back.
...
