Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Seldom does a forgiveness to give it repeatedly.
Comes with a warrantee.
To have it checked on an annual basis.
Most who give another their forgiveness once.

The ones who have remained miraculously,
Sane and conscious of these days we live.
Will notice it not so difficult,
To adapt to all the changes being made.

As if a novelty or commodity.
To obsess.
Yet with ease to ,

A puppet manipulated by strings,
Is obvious and can be forgiven.
For such outrageous comments heard.
To then think of them as funny.

Better schools.
Better teachers.

To sever itself from a dependency.
With an ego to have believed,

With more frequency.
The less having sex I get,
Hearing about others doing it...

A behavior that threatens,
To end the meaning of trust.
And in such public displayed ways.
...

One spineless.
Can not be expected,
To sit up straight.
Even strapped into a position,
