Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What are you going to do with it?
Sit and sulk?
Or use it to get results?
...

So many are now expressing their concerns,
Whether,
If elected...
He will continue to protect their interests.
...

I've had a wealth of experiences from which to select.
If ever I decide to quit and sit in blissful reminiscing...
I would miss so much!
...

Once a fresh new fragrance has been sniffed...
By those accustomed to experiencing,
A life adventured and explored!
It is understood how some can become overwhelmed.
...

Their philosophies are proclaimed to be different.
As expressed...
Throughout a long campaign.
For press 'ops' and long speech stops!
...

Leave those alone who are comforted by their own beliefs.
Fragmented realities had at one time brought relief...
To the ones who pocketed funds from such divisions!
Choosing not to listen and making wrong decisions.
...

And,
My love...
You have my mind.
My heart and my soul,
...

No longer do I make myself assessible to folks.

I'd find myself rearranging my priorities,
At the dropp of a hat.
...

Realities being the way they are...
It is best to leave those suspended,
Within their own delusions.
...

I make attempts to leave 'specifics' up to the reader.
Affording them the opportunity to include their own biases.
It is a method I've learned to develop over time.
It provides an easy exit for me if I so choose.
...
