Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

They've accepted themselves as worthless.
Giving in to subservience,
To flourish a form of obedience...
Only a blinded leech would love!
...

I do not walk in your shadow.
Or idolize your humanness.
Nor do I wish for things you possess,
From my ancestors' treasure chest!
...

Some may find it a difficult task,
To argue the rules of correctness...
In a court of law,
When the prosecutor shows up drunk.
...

He don't know his daddy.
So to compensate,
A bigger fool he makes...
Of himself!
...

Be bold!
Stop telling yourself you are afraid.

So many moments left and each precious.
...

Too many wish to see others stumble.
To crumble as if it is predicted.
Addicted and wicked this sickness is.
And those who cherish this as their existence,
...

Lips sealed and still thoughts heard.
No spoken words are needed.
A confused truth contradicts...
What is to be comprehended,
...

And what would be my compensation?
For applying your constant aggrevation,
Towards years of my devoted dedication.
Now that you have discovered...
...

More today,
Than any other day remembered...
I can say,
I am missing you in a way...
...

I seek something...
Recogizable as divine.
Not a liability,
Anyone can find to tolerate
...
