Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The fear factor.
Politically invented.
Reliable to implement.
Rumors of a threatened way of life.
...

If people want to do as they choose.
Just let them.
Doing it to be made fools.
Just let them.
...

Reinforced by the endorsement,
Of manufactured weapons.
On display and threatened to use.
And millions of lives later to lose.
...

Nobody thinks.
Without a thought.
Or sits to avoid.
Having thoughts at all.
...

Trust.
Noticed by more today,
Rusting.
And becoming ignored.
...

When heard more,
From some concerned and express.
They fear most losing their identity.
Exactly what to them does that mean?
...

You and me both know why,
Where, when and how...
We got to be no longer us.
To have no one else,
...

So similar in qualities they are.
Especially when teaching their differences.
Regardless if to an adult or child.
...

The convenience,
Of processing selective thoughts.
Especially those not to remember,
When in conversation shared with others.
...

Reached!
Has been the peak of intrigue.
And blindly followed by those schemed.
Believing their leaders,
...
