Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Dancing out of rhyme and reason.
Lacking rhythm with a pace too aged,
For the times you are behind.
And yet you request your steps be followed.
...

People want more than they have,
Of what it is they're given.
And first to criticize the ones who serve.
...

With no excuses.
Or made attempts of pretense,
To hide in my heart to expose and show.
What I feel is revealed.
...

Facts no longer matter.
Truth has been battered,
To disbelieve it had quality.
And those who remember,
...

There is nothing like knowing,
One's own struggle to undo...
And when to ignore,
The advice given by another...
...

Beating the odds,
Is a difficult thing to do.
Especially if those odds,
Have been beating on you...
...

Dumping dupes and their doings...
To screw all those viewing!
Removing this to sit,
With unresisting peace.
...

Ban the void.
Tch.
Ban the void.
Tch, tch.
...

Be not in your gloom,
To squander despair.
With feelings that squeeze...
Memories of happiness.
...

The real reason unemployment statistics,
Are dropping?
To keep mouths closed,
And delusions from stopping?
...
