Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A headache unknown to come,
Seldom announces its arrival.
To allow anyone to take precaution.
Or prepare for the effects,
...

For some it is difficult,
To follow a map.
Highlighting graphic directions,
In which they should take.
...

Those given platforms,
To announce the creating...
Of initiating conflicts.
Confusion,
...

Debating the effects,
Of a crisis known to start.
And promises more pain,
Rising in flames.
...

Truth is not on the left of right.
Or with those affiliated,
To perceive their religious...
And political beliefs,
...

Gaining attention.
An event to give it.
In the news one minute.
And within moments to forget.
...

Who is it that has ever known,
A showing of human emotion...
To expect expressed,
From empathetic demons.
...

If there is anyone disputing,
What reality to live it is.
And steps taken to introduce,
Gentrification.
...

Shameless.
Yet expected to accept.
One's dangerous self indulgence.
To own.
...

If one among the many,
Has been groomed...
To be a crook.
Deceiver and a thief.
...
