Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When an irritating presence,
Loses this significance...
To no longer irritate.
Yet continues to instigate,
...

Not everyone believes,
In conspiracy theories.
It just seems that way.
...

I remember...
When expressing respect,
To everyone.
Had been as common,
...

There is detectable ignorance,
Effective on both sides.
And spreading.
To influence minds,
...

When a baby,
Not yet a year old.
Or capable to walk.
And has just begun to crawl.
...

And, here we are.
Again.
Again in anguish.
Despair and heartbreaking,
...

Revealing.
Is the peeling away,
The image of pretentiousness.
Kept for years and decades,
...

Give to me more!

'More?
Of what? '
...

I had heard about,
Having a peace of mind.
From the ones,
Who had acquired this.
...

With or without money.
From parents to get.
To demand in hand.
Or left to them inherited.
...
