Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Don't be the one in the dumps!

Why not make a date.
To give all your frustrations up.
...

No one who lives to deceive,
Is innocent from committing...
A multitude of sins.
And those blinded by hypocrisy,
...

The only thing that people owe,
Who have worked tirelessly.
For most of their lives.
To finally achieve,
...

Damaged.
A life to like is being damaged.
In front of our eyes it can vanish.
Quicker than eating up a sandwich.
...

From the outside,
Everything inside...
The candy store.
Looks delicious and sweet.
...

Aging is a remarkable experience.
To actually live and witness it.
With it to notice,
Regardless of the many changes...
...

Listen up, folks.
And may I have everyone's attention.
I apologize for interrupting,
Your gossiping sessions.
...

Anyone who has never known,
To value standards, rules and laws.
With them to follow or obey to consider...
Limits or their restrictions.
...

Closer moving towards,
An applied and intense...
Searing heat.
Sold out souls dig.
...

Thoughtless to provoke,
Premeditated wrong actions to take.
To later be heard stated,
With a 'but' and picked 'ifs',
...
