Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What's wrong with this World?

'Nothing but the people.'
...

Any mind confined,
Restricted over a period of time...
Diminishes.
Declines.
...

Intergrated segregation,
On both sides of a rusted fence.
Sustains successfully,
Beliefs to keep remaining the same...
...

Some will 'dis' this style,
As unsophisticated.
Some will 'dis' this style,
To not appreciate it.
...

The teaching of beliefs to think humanity,
Can succeed on greed alone...
To feed it.
Without the well-being,
...

And so it is.
To witness and observe.

No one can live life,
...

A future can't be neutered,
To neutralize it by disguise.
Or cut off to have it tossed,
From minds that wish...
...

Addicted is a dependency,
Consented to defend it.
And rewarded to permit,
A repeating done with assistance.
...

I've never felt your touch.
Or tenderness.
To feel it inside.
Or felt it from you to express.
...

No more of your B.S.,
Am I digesting.
To believe your serving of it,
I deserve.
...
