Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

This disaster is massive.
One unlike anyone has seen.
Mother Nature has grown weary
Of the ignorance shown to Her.
...

I'm not ready to hit you with it just yet.
You know that one that comes...
And says what I may regret.
Like a milestone released,
...

Most of their lives they have degraded themselves.
Looked down upon their neighbors.
And desrespected their children...
By offering them a life deplete of discipline.
...

Trivial manipulations,
Harvested to manifest quick solutions...
With the same recipe and ingredients involved,
Has ceased to make sense!
...

I suppose...
As long as there are those
Who are seeking someone
Qualified
...

My approach to life?
Do not overkill the taste of it,
With too much seasoning.
Salt and peppered attitudes...?
...

I love it!
When those who perceive,
My ceative sensibilities...
Exposes a sensitivity,
...

It would be wonderful to recognize our failings,
And immediately correct them.
Or face the truth and deal with our insecurities.
But we are suspended within mentalities to react,
...

Confinement plus isolation,
Equals awareness!
With an insight,
Unlike anything an open door...
...

However you say it...
Do not make attempts,
To intoxicate me.
...
