Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Hazardous is the madness.
And given a public focus of it.
Everyday slipping away,
From any signs of identifiable...
...

Tormented with incentive.
Helplessly I am determined.
And driven by ambition.
Leaving my expectations set too high.
...

Moments of mundane,
Sustained.

Flowing from the top nonstop.
...

Instructed to follow.
With a blindness to disrupt.
And openly corroded.
By an hypnotic corruption.
...

Have we become so entitled.
And sickened with privilege.
That a protecting our health,
By wearing a mask.
...

We are living in times,
When created man made confusion...
Has been used as a tool,
To keep many minds blinded.
...

Nothing that cheapens life,
Blessed to have...
Will increase more its worth,
Or value.
...

Until you pay.
For doing dumb stuff.
Until you pay.
And give that stuff up.
...

Choose and pick,
Your enemies wisely.
And 'never' disrespect,
Anyone who gives it to show.
...

After many years of being made,
To develop patience and tolerance.
With this to accept,
My wishes to dream them...
...
