Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Some decisions to make,
Become easier made than others these days.

Choose to live your life.
...

Even if they wobble.
Overweight from a feeding upon greed.
And appetizing on hoodwinks and deception.
More are ducking quacks.
...

No ugliness done.
To anyone is left to go unreturned.
Without those conscious of their misdeeds.
To recognize a lesson to learn,
...

A way of life sold.
Bought by those fascinated.
As to how the telling of tales are told.
Makes little difference if truth is omitted.
...

I remember when multiple choices existed.
And from them options were presented.
To decide which one would be the best to pick.
Today?
...

And as some pray.
With one eye closed.
And the other looking away.
A few claim to have heard,
...

I have been blessed to have a wonderful life.
In spite of the many challenges and disappointments,
God has had me face to test my faith.
Strength to have was over time developed.
...

Not afraid at all.
To know what it is I want.
With efforts to endeavor them made.
Stumbling to get up from a fall.
...

When anything or anyone.
Is perceived to be accessible.
Whatever it is,
In the getting of it that seems available...
...

Identified are the people.
Evaluating what they have.
As a means of their self worth.
With a doing to do this often.
...
