Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I do the best I can to avoid confrontation.
Especially in environments in which disrespect,
Has become a sport.
And people are entertained,
...

Don't...just...
Fuzzy up and cuddle on a peach.
Or sneak up peeping,
When you should be eating!
...

There will always be those,
Who say they believe in God.
And quote verbatim...
Memorized Biblical scriptures.
...

Show me I'm the one,
You can care for.
And...
You will be that one,
...

Aggressively,
They are campaigning for him to fail.
Without comprehending...
He is the only one left,
...

You approached me to ask a question.
And taking my time to listen...
With a response I had hoped,
You would comprehend.
...

I believe we have encountered,
A bit of misunderstanding.
Although I would love to participate,
With the same enthusiasm as you have shown...
...

I wish you the best.
Those who are stuck in routines!
And those with priorities,
Living on deadlines...
...

Often,
I feel softened!
And embedded deep!
Bolted to an awareness...
...

We say we pray,
For forgiveness and clarity.
When we are forgiven and the clarity comes...
We become disbelievers.
...
