Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When people lie to themselves.
And others too.
Whether conscious about it or not.
Yet will continue to do.
...

Difficult it is.
To return with a come back.
From a destruction.
Followed to allow and permit it,
...

What has happened to the adults?
The ones to remember that would admit,
Their making of mistakes.
And did not delay to hesitate,
...

Kept with a keeping going on.
With it to go on.
Kept with a keeping known wrong.
Prolonged day and night.
...

Seldom is stupidity,
Inflicted upon others...
Is a knowledgeable act,
One will admit.
...

Greed, division and ignorance.
Initiated by those without vision.
Lacking innovation and common sense.
To believe a leadership picked,
...

Time to find and discover life,
More appreciated than not.
Is a time one finds to stop.
And leave behind shallow reasons,
...

It is meant for you and me.
To share our experiences.
Regardless of the category.
Or opinions to not necessarily agree.
...

Today,
Unlike others.
To have come to go.
Mostly ignoring,
...

Ideals and values.
Stuck in a rusting collected dust.
Stubbornly affixed,
To times that have gone.
...
