Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Those who habitually lie,
Will try their best to decieve others...
With performances to convince,
That the ones unafraid to speak the truth...

Just a regiment.
And...

To reach the top!

I am okay with that.
But do not expect me to neglect,
...

With a sabotaging done.

Why can't they provide evidence,
To expose with proof...

Is an emotional wound that is left.
And no one expressing to show an empathy,
Should demand with an expectation to get...

What I have yet learned not to do,
Is to offer to anyone anything I believe...
Would bring to them a benefit.
But each time my intentions,
