Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A mighty fortress provides my God.
Against intruders perpetrating their conflicts.
And inside I am comforted with the knowing of it.

My experiences and tested faith has proven to me,
...

Everyone has a wish,
To influence with their unsolicited opinion.
Until Mother Nature arrives,
With a getting of all the attention...
...

There is one fact that isn't often practiced.

People who disagree,
With others who always seem to be right...
...

It is getting increasingly obvious,
Who the foolish people are.
And the support they are receiving,
By those who follow blindly behind...
...

Remember...
There are worse things that can happen,
Than a receiving to get criticism...
With a listening to sit through it.
...

The having of common sense has yet to receive,
An honorary degree from any college and/or university...
That has proclaimed to have identified to graduate,
Scholars to present with convincing representation...
...

Comebacks are not natural paths to take,
From heartbreak, financial devastation...
Or physical and/or mental debilitation.
It takes a rebirth of some kind no one can define.
...

Being aware and observant,
Of one's own environment...
Has its dividends and mental benefits.
With less questions needing to be answered,
...

The having of 'things' and possessions to obsess,
Becomes less used an effective objective...
With one's focus primarily is on whom to impress.
Such thoughts to think seem tired and meaningless,
...

You've got me programmed like a mindless machine.
Turning off to turn back on...
With a proving to me and others of this seen.
And everybody knows who has my nose wide open.
...
