Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Safe within the arms of fear,
Some feel.
Some feel an attachment,
To that which attracts...
...

From the beginning,
You initiated a chase.
The day we met,
I expressed a fondness for you.
...

You!
Instigator.
Initiator of the hit and run,
With a lieing done...
...

They've been conditioned to believe,
What happens to them in their environment...
Is a reflection of society and the general public.
And what has been done to them has been effective.
...

If I believed everything in life,
Should come to me quick and easy...
I would not have made any attempts,
To accomplish anything.
...

It's possible for you to achieve success.
I never said that it wasn't.

This is what I said...
...

Tactics used,
To maneuver your way into portraying yourself...
As a better qualified human being than me,
Through the devisive use of corruption, deceit...
...

Can you give me something more,
Than less than your professed best?
I've been waiting to be impressed...
Since you let it known,
...

Shut the rut up.
Why stay stuck in it,
As if it is preferred?
Is it deserved?
...

It seems as though your improprieties,
From those standards you valued...
Have come to undo you to do you in.
...
