Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Sex sex sex sex!
That's all you filthy kids,
Consume yourselves with these days.
You should be seeking redemption,
...

I had intended to pour you a cup of tea.
With silent lips.
But the dawn arises,
And it provides my lift!
...

Please excuse me,
While I kick myself...
With a bit of bruising.
...

A warm welcome of deeds performed,
Aren't always received with standing ovation.
Sometimes what is done is not even noticed.
So what does one do?
...

They would spread lies,
On my sisters and I.
And they were relatives.
Preparing us very early...
...

Great liberties have been taken,
To prove to all you are the superior race!
And I wonder...
If much of what you expose is from insecurity?
...

What is this thing called poetry?
Is it depictions...
Of vignettes connected.
Bridged between something said profound.
...

Ive read sheer nonsense,
Many declare as being great.

And I am also aware of incompetence,
...

The marketing of flu,
Has become a multi billion dollar industry.
There is money to be made in creating vaccines,
By private corporations.
...

Oh they've got their corks up now.
Overtaxed and burdened,
They can not relax.
Smack dab in the middle,
...
