Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

How do You do
The things that You say
And do?
And keep so close
...

'Whoever is using the bathroom!
Will you please close the door?
I've run out of candles and incense!
And the deodorant spray I left at the store!
...

If he didn't do it...
And he's on trial!
And they know he didn't,
And they are not!
...

We know the package looked bright at first!
Before he 'took' it away!
We know he has connections,
To people in high places.
...

I have no disposition,
To request a reposition.
Or think that superstitions done,
Protects me from the evil of some.
...

It appears the victim died,
From a self inflicted hate.
With an overwhelming need,
To feel itself to be powerful and great!
...

They had no clue who they were!
And it was intentional.
They had no say in their destiny!
And it was intentional.
...

A mind that knows,
The definition of conformity
And comprehends who benefits,
With full pockets unwilling to share.
...

The clock...
With loud sounds
Of tick tocking
On shoulders burdened
...

The fall of greatness comes
When one believes himself the best
He sees his quest uncontested...
And he second guesses the foe he shuns!
...
