Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If it has been left and meant kept,
To leave behind.
And out of your mind to stay that way.
Refuse to let it be revisited.
...

Sold to sell.
And marketed well.
Can be an unfortunate path to follow.
...

Pettiness has taken over.
Sitting more fixed and prioritized.
On the top of wishes listed.
Yet the numbness of this wish gets.
...

They only defense there is,
To protect whatever is left...
Of one's remaining sanity to know it.
Against the effect to suspect idiots.
...

Too many who pour tea.
With a slice of nonsense tasted,
On a daily basis without hesitation.
Are lost.
...

Intelligence to have with proof of truth.
And a kept honesty deceivers hate.
Does not return given salutes.
Confetti parades.
...

When one demands control,
Over their own demise.
Few in the know are not surprised.
Neither do they anticipate,
...

The World. According to...
Gossipers whispering fresh rumors to spread.
With a sprinkling of innuendos.
The kind that dance in vacant heads.
...

Even feelings had,
For someone loved can end.
As if they were never there.
To Remember when they started.
...

From underground.
Sewage seeping through cracks leak.
From underground.
Polluted eyes clear up to see,
