Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If some people really wanted to impress,
Others to prioritize and address...
Those aged historical moments made,
And documented as a greatness laid...
...

No one can predict with certainty,
The outcome of events.
And even though some may be convinced,
To follow along paths protected by fences...
...

Preventing an escalation of a consent given,
Of a quality of life relentlessly indecent...
And descending with intented purpose meant,
Is an effort completely ineffective...
...

If I wanted I too could choose,
To live a life that is redundant.
In an existing repetitiveness.
With a love of doing it,
...

The thing that is most treacherous,
About those who deceive...
Is their ability to portray innocence,
To have others believe...
...

Some use a different approach,
On those choosing to insist...
Upon using the same old tired tactics,
To provoke others folks as if to joke.
...

A cultivating kept and is believed,
Of that which one wants to keep significant...
Is done with a giving it as much respect,
As one would expect to receive.
...

On the rise are misfits,
Given rights to start conflicts.
On the rise are misfits,
With their havoc to leave.
...

For whatever the reason,
And unlike others who seem to be pleased...
To joke and laugh as time passes,
Some have managed to endure...
...

Just because I disagree with you,
Does not mean I disrespect your opinion.
And if you always agreed with me,
I would begin to suspect your honesty.
...
