Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Yesterday was yesterday.
And today is tomorrow's past.
That's why it pays to stay in the moment,
To appreciate what is for what it is...
...

We all seek to get attention.
But many who wish it to get,
Pay little of it to others to mention.
...

The increase of fear,
Has those whispering in each other's ears.
People have become afraid and wish to be saved!
But from what can be identified within themselves,
...

Where is the proof,
That there is a declining quality of life.
Where is the proof,
That minds have been affected...
...

As time moves on and seasons have gone,
To be loved and remembered...
By those who choose to look forward today,
Without staying to reminisce yesterdays faded.
...

Altrhough...
They're slipping with a gripping,
To a bottomless pit.
With an ignorance addicted unresisted.
...

Why are they sobbing?

'They are saying,
Something has come to affect their lives.
...

If you want another like the other that you had,
I know I am not the one...
To keep you from a truth that's been done,
For fun.
...

Sticking with commitment,
Has its benefits.
If devotion is faithful.
And with a purpose that is legitimate.
...

Isn't it always the case,
When something done by someone...
Is made to look easy,
Everyone sitting on their terraces...
...
