Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You can't get this,
From a seminar.
Or fit this quick,
In a seminar.
...

The playing of cat and mouse,
May come to validate the cat and the mouse...
Choosing to play.
However...
...

Fluff seekers know where to go,
To get their daily fix.
And those wishing to get their reality,
Straight up with no chaser...
...

How can you make such preposterous declarations.
That I have a conflict of interest?
When each and every interest I have,
There is not one conflict...
...

It is yet another day to await,
Another promise that has been stated...
With another attempt to procrastinate,
Upon that same promise to fulfill.
...

You will know when you have discovered,
Something for you that you were meant to do...
When the doing of it is done with such devoted passion,
That it becomes something you 'must' do...
...

Where would some people be?
What kind of lives would we all live,
If we were not motivated by someone else's...
Creativity?
...

If being honest and the living of truth,
Was not considered offensive...
By those wishing to protect,
Their prefabricated lives with high-tech weapons...
...
