Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Many who can not accept,
The effect change has on progress made.
Are the same people heard,
Making claims...
...

How is it,
That the ones who begin conflicts...
Campaign to receive empathy.
With it to have believed,
...

The purpose and use of truth,
Has become subjected to debate.
And threatened to become obsolete.
By deceivers creating their own facts.
...

Remember when ignorance,
Was thought to be stupid.
Until it became lucrative.
As a marketing tool.
...

If anyone feels the need,
To explain their innocence.
With this attempt to convince,
They have been the victim.
...

Your giving to me,
What it is 'you' think...
I deserve.
Is appreciated.
...

Listen.
And with this done to do,
Carefully.
The ones who continue,
...

Maneuver to undo all of the knots!
And...
Drop them to move on.
Unwind your mind to find,
...

May the Fall of Autumn leaves,
Bring the giving to many thankful...
A feeling of being blessed.
To witness yet once again,
...

You don't owe me love.
You don't owe me anything,
Not yours to have.
Or know the meaning of it,
...
