Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The ugliness of defied denial.
To face.
Can become an unbearable place.
One unexpectedly finds to be in.
...

Mother Nature knows.
When time to give a dose of reality,
May be overdue.
But coming to be done is needed.
...

Whether or not,
Truth to know of it.
Has significance.
And accepted to have relevance.
...

Observed and more conspicuous.
Is the eminence,
Of a once forbidden love.
Its prominence expresses more.
...

Who is it that lives,
Excusing accusations made towards them.
And frequently done,
By those remaining anonymous.
...

With steps made to move forward.
And convinces anyone this is done.
Is all that it takes to prove,
Repeating of the same words heard pointless.
...

What aspect of their prestigious institutions,
Keep them protected unsuspected.
From scandals revealed.
What has become,
...

Like it or not.
Nobody chooses life to live it,
Overdone.
With time to use they have saved.
...

One message sent.
Marked unclassified yet urgent.
Only benefits the interest,
Of whoever 'gets it'.
...

You can stretch.
Without losing breath.
To do it from 9 to 5.
And from doing it still survive.
...
