Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A following to allow,
Their own destruction...
To support and permit it.
Can only be observed to watch,
...

So difficult it is.
And nearly impossible to convince,
Anyone...
Accustomed to cheating and deceiving,
...

Insinuations to make.
And deceiving false statements,
Made by those...
Who fake faith,
...

I don't pretend.
And I don't recall,
To have ever been...
Comfortable.
...

It has always been you,
That keeps my faith and belief...
Uplifted.
With a facing,
...

This is not a judgement to pass.
This is an observation.
And not hidden to disguise.
Or come as a surprise.
...

No one born as of yet,
Has been assigned to tolerate...
Anyone else's nonsense.
Whether oppressed, suppressed...
...

Applauded.
Entertained by it and cheered.
An order.
To slaughter.
...

If left sweet.
Most will reluctantly,
Abandon their delusions.
And their comfort zones.
...

Glued and strapped to facts.
With them watched,
To pack and label them...
Just like that to carry on backs.
...
