Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What minds are behind,
The spending of billions of dollars...
For two people to hollar promises,
GUARANTEED to 'all'...
...

Icebergs melting,
Rapidly under stars.
As Earth revolves,
Evolving with a speed...
...

With all the ammunition at one's disposal,
To attack.
Why would someone hold back from doing it?
Especially to allow a known liar,
...

Oh...
I am a fighter!
With a decision made long ago,
How it was I will live my life.
...

These days are moving along too fast,
For anyone to begrudge...
A doing not done in those times in their past.
...

It has taken me many years to rebuild my life.
MANY.
And I could care less how I am perceived.
My experiences have assisted in my beliefs.
...

I'm a long distance caller,
Focused on your needs.
And you may not know this,
Since near you I don't sit.
...

Time should never be the reason,
Why what is loved...
Needs more of it for someone to find.
If it's true and there to stay on one's mind.
...

It has become so easy to criticize,
One who is effective in a doing to get done...
By those who stand aside seeking the spotlight.
But lack experience showing they know what that's like.
...

From the very moment that it stings,
Forgiving to forget a harboring that swings...
Back and forth from that day forward,
When a heartbreak begins to be remembered...
...
