Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It should be obvious these days,
Who has a relationship with truth.
And who has no clue,
What truth is to live it.
...

Many will claim to have 'vision'.
A seeing beyond,
What has yet to come to be done.
Although their minds and eyes are closed.
...

The good news?
Bad news refused,
To continue to delude...
It did not include,
...

So far ahead,
Has time from us gone.
Moving on to leave many of us,
Stuck in a comfort.
...

What had not been done,
To correct yet allow...
The seeds of it planted,
Had been weeds to see...
...

Honesty,
To live and be...
Honest.
Today?
...

Difficult it gets,
To name and proclaim...
Someone to be a failure.
With repeated comments made.
...

Senseless opposition.
To defend a position,
Taken against others.
Who have proven themselves,
...

Can not free themselves,
From doubting.
Or comparisons,
Between themselves to make.
...

People awake today,
Seek results...
For the increasing rise,
Of their taxes enforced to pay.
...
