Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Once shown to be made known,
How one travels to the extreme.
To disrespect and demean another that seems,
Left defenseless.
...

What has been made clear,
Is the lack of integrity.
And the diminishing clarity,
Of credibility.
...

My peace of mind to earn and get.
Took too long to arrive to abandon it.
And those searching high and low with binoculars,
Seeking anyone to pick and start an argument.
...

More to be the is.
Than what was to be.

An increasing of injustices.
...

Today it seems to appear,
More people prioritize...
Who did what to someone else.
And why it was done,
...

A way of life to steal and deceive,
Is a reality for many...
Who can afford to live their pretensions.
From the top down and around found,
...

Thinking with thoughts not sought,
To base upon facts.
Is a dangerous act.
For many attempting to walk through life,
...

A duty to truth.
And the commitment of some,
To stun with this done.
Has brought shame to many,
...

There are some who will vouch,
They too had been tossed about until exhausted.
By attempts they have tried on many occasions.
To awaken others addicted on the quickest of ways,
...

Who is it that will admit,
And honestly say...
They have awakened lately,
From a peaceful sleep.
...
