Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The only thing those wicked.
Can not guarantee.
Is immunity to receive.
From their own activities unleashed.
...

Even on those days.
When the sky is clear.
And the Sun is bright.
With not a cloud to appear.
...

Always amongst us.
A 'there' lurking.
And daring those claiming,
To be unaware of 'there'.
...

I will play along,
With your childish deceptions.
However,
Do not use me for others to believe.
...

Cool down.
Lower your steam.
Do not yet blow a gasket.
Stop traveling so fast.
...

If you had not been prioritized.
By God.
To be selected with life to experience it.
And expected with this gift.
...

I have long recognized.
The difference between,
My wants and needs.
And each day as I grow older.
...

Truth to live it.
Becomes freer to do.
When one is face to face,
With a health crisis.
...

It only takes one menace.
To destroy good intentions.
Aborting to end the finish of them.
And quickly diminish any interest,
...

Who I am.
Standing on my own two feet.
Done to do the best I can.
With the hand I have been dealt.
...
