Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A mindbinding that begins,
With an awakening from a dream that ends...
Sends one that has become conscious,
Wondering...
...

Let go of feeling low and busted,
Because of those once trusted...
Have disappointed to leave you in grief.
With a taking of your trust to crush it.
...

Dropping the notion,
That one can have a wonderful life...
Based upon establishing good credit,
Is the beginning of one's awakening.
...

I've figured it out,
I'm more on top...
Than just a dollar.
And I don't bother,
...

We must stop blaming those,
Who led us to the edge of this cliff.
It is more appropriate,
To hold the ones now...
...

Having an optimistic outlook,
For one who has made the decision...
To divorce from old wounds,
And the causes for them.
...

What secrets left could anyone have,
That has sold everything of value...
Because of a feeding of greed?
And the price was right.
...

Why do you smile now all the time?
It looks out of place.
Especially around those,
Adorning exposed frowns on their faces.
...

I have a suggestion.
If I get on your nerves,
And this makes you sick...
Why are you in my presence,
...

We are no more important,
Than the importance to us given.
If that is the reason,
You are basing your self worth.
...
