Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Below to surface,
Come those evil deeds done doers.
Conciously seeking attention.
Not to get enough of it.
...

Inciting chaos to permit it.
Encouraging gang members,
To recruit those young...
To teach criminal activities.
...

No child can be instructed,
To think like an adult.
Or be one.
...

Everyday folks must find a way,
To be inventive.
Doing something different,
Outside of a once thought routine.
...

Unsubstantiated.
And nowhere revealed to be found.
Is evidence of truth or the proof of it.
Yet...
...

What would life lived to be,
Without challenges, risks.
And chances to take.
Fear to accept yet not face,
...

Pick which craze,
Is better suited...
To a list of medications,
Being offered these days.
...

It can be there.
Sharp enough to cut diamonds.
Sharp enough,
To cut the thickest of glass.
...

This World we live in,
Is much too big...
To sit and become sickened,
By others doing what they wish.
...

Imperfections to acknowledge them,
Maybe, can, could and would...
Become painful to face.
But to replace them stubbornly,
...
