Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The only power you have is flight.
To flee from the blight you caused.
The anguish you inflicted,
From a demented mind glorified...
...

This extraordinary trip,
Is going to involve backflips.
Upsetting what is 'normal'
With a normalcy perceived squeezed from it.
...

Painful realities
Are rising and creates unrest.
Truths today are being expressed.
And this is bringing those who know this...
...

A rat shocked by light and caught in darkness...
Becomes frightened,
When an accustomed hole has been closed...
Or blocked from view.
...

Inflammatory remarks...
Concised,
But should not be dismissed.
Actions engaging fear and terror,
...

Grease your hands.
Make sure they are nice and slick.
I will give you this piece,
Of smooth crystal glass.
...

I've been doing this for so long.
It seems longer than I am old.
Some now grasping the importance of this...
Might have an inkling,
...

To those still hypnotized by fantasy,
Euronomics has come to purchase fresh dreams.
Inventions created to bait your pockets dry,
Have died.
...

Cool with life and free of superstitions,
Four leaf clovers, rabbit feet...
And free flights of fancy.
...

It's not noticed until focused upon.
And only then it is said nothing is perfect.
Those on tour buses view landscaped vistas.
Boxed lunches are issued.
...
