Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Investments made to ensure deposits are stocked,
In an abundance of ignorance...
That has become overwhelmingly popularized,
Shouldn't shock anyone who fed on this existence...
...

Why people can not be honest.
And,
Isn't it strange...
Why people object to the subject of truth,
...

Liking what one has chosen to do,
Maybe to others...
Easy.
The reasoning?
...

A trending vast abyss permitted to exist,
And accepted with encouragement...
As a social media phenomenon practiced,
By those distracted and lack common sense.
...

Who says and does what,
With an expressed intent...
To openly offend another as is meant.
Then using the media to deny,
...

Those seeking to get encouragement,
To release what discourages them to let go...
May find it more to their benefit,
If...
...

I have never pretended something true was not.
Or the opposite of that is a hobby one does.
I've had a few too many close friends,
Die unexpectedly.
...

To make excuses at my expense,
With claims made later...
You had no evil intent to ruin my life,
But continued to do to me as you like.
...

Which dreams are not worth me keeping?
And which ones left do I then pick?
Should I apply more focus and with emphasis?

Which ones should I minus to plus with more hope?
...

If something one does is claimed to be loved,
But visited to do on a part-time basis.
If not delayed or procrastinated.
And only when the thought of it,
...
