Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When consistency is missed
And is not part of common sense
Nor logic
It becomes more difficult to prove
...

Why are you smiling so broadly?
It is clear you have been prevented,
From achieving your wishes and desires.
...

Being accessible
And readily available
For some
May be their opportunity
...

Just take the lid off the pot.
Savor all the flavor.
Take the lid off the pot.
Savor all the flavor.
...

Hey.
The only thing you can truly say,
Is that you 'once' ran a good race.
And now that you've aged,
...

You HAD that nice home.
In a selected suburban neighborhood.
You HAD that top of the line automobile.
And drove it around as often as you could.
...

It doesn't pay to stay fantasized with delusions.
It can become very awkward to dismiss the truth,
When one's life is now depending on it...
To piece together something,
...

Someone 'Has' to be,
Intercepting these messages sent.

Without an educated society,
...

Most have decided to following those signs,
Pointing East.
Several with loads stacked and packed on their backs,
And collectively infighting...
...

The enemy approaches.
We must prepare.
With a keeping of our weapons loaded.
Here they come now.
...
