Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Upon its first sighting,
As a possible defect.
A protection immediately instigated,
Should have gone into effect.
...

One never knows,
What tomorrow holds and proposes.
Or what a future means.
Until in it one lives.
...

Who penetrated my inner peace,
Be declaring they meet my needs.
And...
Who is that unpacking their crap,
...

Someone has been filling your head,
With cotton candy.
And your mind has been nibbling on it,
As your thoughts leave from you,
...

That comfort once given,
To those fleeing to live in suburbia...
Has become more disturbing,
To those who had taken flight...
...

I have been the me,
I have been blessed to have been.
I didn't have to go anywhere to pretend.
And where I've been I did my 'thing'.
...

The thing about a true friendship,
To that one that true friendship...
Is easily given.
Once it is given and it is diminished,
...

The best way not to be caught up in a frenzy?
Avoid being that one,
Accepting beliefs...
Being caught up in a frenzy,
...

Representing a decadence this is...
Represents its existence,
As it is and this is clear.
...

It is always the economy,
Affecting needs.
Always it is!
And not one's education...
...
