Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I am not one who will debate,
What rakes or other equipment to be used...
When the cleaning up of backyards,
Should be a priority for everyone.
...

So exposed are those dysfunctional and incompetent,
Advocators following with steadfast beliefs...
Can not perceive the depth,
Of their acceptance that has left them deceived.
...

I am listening to you.
And in the process of doing it,
You've changed your mind three times...
To contradict yourself.
...

I...
Just because we're distant.
Still...
Although I admit it's different.
...

Under...
Pressure.
And under...
Stress.
...

Only those who are trained and conditioned,
To protect the ones obscene...
With a loyalty that remains unquestioned,
Are offended and incensed...
...

How absurd is absurdity,
When people get too involved...
In its perfection?
...

Have you been here before?
At this moment in time?
To know me to find,
A judgement to pass?
...

People assisted with their jumping to conclusions,
Before taking it upon themselves...
To investigate the decisions they make,
Find it extremely difficult to erase this mistake...
...

Never ever will I feel,
My best I have given...
When I reflect upon,
Tests to me that have been administered.
...
