Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A fear of losing capitalistic views abused.
By those who depleted,
The economy with their greed.
...

Remember when your ideals,
Were first noticed to be tampered?
So you chose to isolate them,
Running away...
...

Why is there an economic failure?
People instilled with capitalistic beliefs,
Accepting success as materialness!
And schemes that variety is the spice of life...
...

Too much to know.
Too much that is...
And isn't.
...

I gained more from my inability,
To press forward with a self centeredness.
When my obsession with correctness left...
I realized what I possessed,
...

I am grateful not to ride,
On the wings of pettiness.
With those who live as isolationists.
...

It is easier to deceive a people fantasized.
Easy it is to sway opinion,
With something sparkling...
To dazzle the eyes,
...

Should people of greed,
Be thrown a lifeline?
When their digressions and selfishness,
Created their own suffering...
...

If there was an interest,
You would express fresh questions.
You'd wish to know something new.
Something unrevealed between me and you.
...

Rescued from sleaze and teasing.
Once bottled up in guilt and shame...
And clamped to pain,
As a goal one chose to pursue and aim.
...
