Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Many may think themselves immuned,
From idiots, misfits and derelicts.
Quick to depict and label.
To find their increasing numbers to grow,
...

For what it's worth,
Many of us...
Who have come to witness life,
Here on Earth...
...

It is addicting.
With a flavor to crave,
And more desired with each taste.
Although,
...

The speed of time and the flow of it,
Goes.
As all of nature blooms,
To grow to full radiance...
...

A making of mistakes to admit.
Not to revisit or again commit.
Being aware and unafraid to forgive.
To move forward each day.
...

To switch what comes from twisted lips,
With a listening to those...
Who have made a habit of this,
As if to remove themselves from a truth...
...

People want their realities less explicit.
Less reflective of the times that exist.
People want their lives to be disguised by lies.
And those who refuse to be dishonest,
...

Many words are written to be spoken and heard.
But is anybody listening?
Has everyone missed the content of the message.
...

Un...derstanding minds!
Do they exist.
Do they to-day exist.
Un...derstanding minds!
...

A waste of time that's tasted,
To debate the fate of some...
Has come too late to cater,
To fake a taste to shun.
...
