Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Download to let go,
Of a doing unchanged.
Download to let go,
The same playing of games.
...

I will never trust anyone,
Who throws another under a bus.
Just to protect themselves,
From lies they tell to sell.
...

What are those people protesting,
Against?
In a rotation that seems,
To have recycled comments.
...

Our lives to live,
Consciously to admit...
And submit with commitment,
To this witnessed blessing.
...

The best suggestions to make,
Are none.
Especially if they are taken,
To be interpreted as criticisms made.
...

Many can't get over what time it is.
And how the minds of their 'kids',
Have from them been taken away.
With laws protecting this detriment.
...

I volunteered.
And every moment of my giving,
Not one second of it...
Did I regard as charity.
...

I would rather see proof,
Of your growth process in action.
Than to be asked repeatedly,
If I remember your mistakes made.
...

Unconscious are the people,
Who continue to take credit...
For their blessings given to them.
And...
...

A misdeed believed to be done to another,
Secretly and in discreet.
Seems to always reach a gossiper,
Knowing details and the time of the deed
...
