Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

'You have those 'eyes'.
Open, wide and bright.'

I made a place for myself,
Daring the urge to seek acceptance.
...

Own it to rid.
And not impress to dress up.
There is a difference between mistakes made,
And covered lies.
...

Waking to await the dawn to appear,
I am here.
Anticipating the horizon,
To see cleared...
...

Degrading others to satisfy a low self esteem...
Gets to become a comical scene to observe,
When the participants are left wondering...
Why a unity with them is resisted.
...

Unwind.
And have some fun.

Take the time.
And find...
...

'My doctor told me I had this.
And...
From what I've been told,
I am convinced...
...

In the living my life,
I have arrived to feel free...
From the caring of who evaluates,
How the doing of it done...
...

Devoted with a dedication,
Unmistakably related...
To a sacrificing done.
With a doing too!
...

I can not and wont argue,
The right or wrongs...
Of an opinion I am requested to give.
Nor will I sit defending in debating it,
...

Gun toting hypocrites,
Devoting their beliefs...
To an outdated ammendment.
And yet professing themselves,
...
