Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Run to the ONE who comforts you.
Without delaying.
Run to the ONE who comforts you.
Without debating...
...

My eyes never left the ball.
Afterall...
I became disciplined to keep my focus on it.
And when I joined on the field with others,
...

The advocates of free speech!
And, oh! ...those first amendment rights they seek.
With a doing to smear beliefs of others.
Don't you just love the way they use the media to do this?
...

Those grandiose approaches spoken,
From podiums to deliver token speeches made...
While the ones running to be elected,
To represent the best of delusions...
...

Either mystical doom or an acceptance of evil.
People are obsessed,
With an ending to their lives...
That entertains their imaginations.
...

So glad I had been given chores to do 'then',
With activities to keep me occupied...
In the days of my youth.
...

Where is the villain...
I'm to fear and not go near?
Who is that villain?
...

Honored delusions exchanged in confidence,
Is fine to embrace when within one's fence.
And shared in face to face conversations.
Limited to the comforts of one's backyard.
...

Depressingly uninformed,
Are the ones out of touch.
And stand they do on the backs of prinicples,
To keep those divided with beliefs...
...

It's a matter of fact.
Regardless who decides to skip over that.
There are those who believe,
They've been annointed to say and do...
...
