Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If following the same path,
Done to complain...
About where it ultimately ends.
Again at a brick wall.
...

A claim to make public,
Of discovering proof...
That evidence found,
Cures and prevents...
...

We are living in times,
When randomly...
People can be picked,
From a crowd of others.
...

What has begun to happen,
To many people.
Falling to their knees.
Unable to prevent themselves,
...

As we sit inside,
The comfort of our homes.
Feeling protected.
Yet made suspicious,
...

Corrupted theft.
Greed and perfected incompetence.
Envy, jealousy and wicked deeds.
Seldom does not leave,
...

For the ones who have managed,
To hold their heads up high.
Through the weight of bearing,
Accusations against them made.
...

Many live to take for granted,
What they do and say to others.
Believing that way to live is okay.
Caring less who it is,
...

An innocence to pretend it,
May have been a benefit to feel...
Entitled to deny or admit,
Acceptance or rejection.
...

Anyone who has been trained,
To study others while observing...
Their movements to watch.
Like the ones who develop characters,
...
