Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

New slogans and fresh quips,
Are in desperate need...
To replace those that have exhausted,
Their usefulness.
...

Some believe their lives,
Should be lived with repetitions of chances...
And forgiveness given.
As if they are immuned from the learning,
...

Why do they look at you,
As if they are upset?
...

When something is known with no doubting about it.
The need to share or question others,
Regarding the acceptance of it...
Is unnecessary.
...

Is it possible,
To hold others responsible...
For a decline of one's quality of life.
As they sit and do nothing,
...

No one can wipe a slate clean,
Of a sabotaging done to another.
No one has the right to excuse,
An abusing of another away...
...

The living of life,
Can reveal bewildering moments.
Some are not as stunning as others.
But needless to say,
...

I miss sincerity.
And my friends and family members,
That shared theirs with me...
Who have moved on to other 'realms'.
...

No duty calls,
To perpetuate an influx...
Of destruction released.
...
