Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Any day
That the Sun,
For me
Rises!
...

Anyone wishing to enforce their beliefs,
With a flaunting done insisting their point of view
Is correct with a pouting stubbornness,
No evidence presented will convince.
...

There are those having the most difficult time,
They have ever had to experience in their lives.
And adjusting for them,
Has to be done without instructions.
...

There is nothing more satisfying,
Than to be depicted as a fool...
By those who have accepted,
Their unconditional training...
...

One who has lived a life protected,
With an encouragement...
To fear the making of mistakes.
Is destined to live an insecure existence.
...

You and I both know she is not innocent.

'She's a liar.'
...

Are we born and destined to be idiots?
Is there a switch that clicks off in our heads,
When an opportunity to do something correct...
Makes us challenge that direction.
...

Hey...
I am the joke.
And you are the teller of them.
Remember?
...

I am not one against higher education.
I am one who takes offense against those...
Getting high while being educated.
...

Were you not...
Gifted with choices to choose.
And were you not...
Given what it is to refuse.
...
