Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Consideration.
Only those who have grown older,
Remember what it meant to know...
Having respect and consideration,
...

A spoiled child allowed to pout.
Then fall out of control.
Throwing tantrums well known to expose.
Then given their demands,
...

More sense is made,
When attention is paid...
To current events.
With a given interest.
...

Truth to dispute the proof,
Of its existence.
Has begun to move,
Closer into the spotlight.
...

There are many who actually believe,
A person's worth...
Is based upon their ability,
To purchase things that bling.
...

People who choose,
With their limited life experiences.
To disrespect those they pick,
As if to have influence...
...

Those exposed to have imposed misdeeds.
With a doing to perform,
Deliberate acts of corruption and treason.
Known and revealed after facts produced.
...

Kept dreams.
That remain and seem unchanged.
Are the ones meant to come true.
Regardless of who says what,
...

Failure to have known its affects.
Emotionally and physically.
To regret but not accept.
Should be incentive enough for anyone,
...

The integrity of any process,
Diminishes each time mediocrity is accepted...
To represent and present with encouragement,
A standard to permit and perceive...
...
