Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What's a goon?
Could that be someone
Who believes they have an intelligence
Gained from books and not from a sense,
...

IF is more 'is' today than ever.
There is no quiz about it now.
And doubts once allowed are gone.
Believe it.
...

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
Why struggle against ignorance...
When the force of it,
Can create powerful setbacks.
...

They know what is going to happen.
And that is why it fascinates.
They know that danger lurks around.
And they are aware,
...

I care about these people.
That's why I can say I like it.

I care about them...
...

I write from my heart.
And...
That my thoughts or feelings,
Go misunderstood not to comprehend...
...

Finding that which has been sought,
To ground a live wire totally confused.
And experiencing the living on assumptions,
Too much.
...

From your perspective.
How important is cultural identity?

'From my perspective?
...

Just how difficult is it,
To give without getting.
To love just to love.
To show others a kindness,
...

Too many people keep their evil disguised.
And they do.
Too many people.
Too many today being evil.
...
