Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Caught unprepared.
Caught to hear,
Making accusations.
Excuses to place blame,
...

A doing of the right thing,
Has always been proven,
Beneficial with results to achieve.
Than to claim,
...

Loving the attention.
But not in public given.
Wanting intention,
To do a good deed...
...

Minds are closing in.
And beginning to 'max' out.
Shutting down from a faith,
To keep it.
...

Absolutely.
When everyone's had enough,
Of those old ways done.
To welcome new ones coming.
...

Personal our shadows.
So personal there is nowhere,
From them to run.
Extremely personal our shadows.
...

A foundation in need,
Of complete and total overhaul...
Should not be debated.
On how it can be renovated.
...

Awakened too late many do.
To realize what was given to have,
Has been taken for granted.
And from them up to go.
...

People have been spoiled,
By given the ability...
To credit their lives,
To rising debts.
...

Forgiving to do it?
Easier it becomes to say.
With the word of it heard,
And meant when said...
...
