Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

There are those who want to 'DO',
But refuse to go through...
The process called 'learning'.
...

Liars know who they are.
And what they have done,
To pursue temporary satisfactions.
With a demoralizing of whom they choose.
...

How easy life becomes to get,
When one has a key to a door...
And that 'one' key unlocks it.
...

Admitted compassion seekers,
Seem to be on the rise...
In increasing numbers these days.
And with a quiet desperate reaching,
...

As a mere child,
I recognized racism existed.
And nothing has changed,
Regardless who interprets it.
...

There is a reason why,
I do not express a desire...
To know what it is you think.
...

Why are they giving 'you' attitude?

'I guess its' because I did not show up,
At the recent party.'
...

Taking it to falsify someone's character,
Eventually results in the discrediting...
Of the person making adverse comments.
...

Neglecting one's own health,
Is not intentionally done...
When one is focused upon,
Being there for others.
...

When an environment sustains,
An on the verge of 'potential' level and remains there...
With few gains developed to move forward for decades.
And stays unchanged and stagnant...
...
