Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Back to back,
That normalcy...
Once to have had,
Seems to be attacked.
...

Forced without a choice to choose,
To rid and remove,
All that has been collected to carry...
On one's back.
...

Accepted.
Invitational death.
Neglected to reject warnings,
Of its effective threats.
...

Undisciplined.
And entitled with freedoms,
To interpret a doing...
What it is they please.
...

Desiring to communicate,
Takes listening to comprehend.
Done with a wanting to understand.
...

Macho stances.
Taken by those,
Protesting to preserve...
Their entitlements rights.
...

Turn away from me if you wish.
Give me the silent treatment.
Ignore my words.
And act as if I do not exist.
...

There are many who believe,
That a task made to look easy...
Is quite simple to achieve.
Until they apply what it takes.
...

Here is another method to use...
For those determined to quench their thirst,
For misdeed and discreet desceptions.
...

A-lone.
No one today,
Should be alone!
If it is not a choice that one does make,
...
