Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The one thing about ignorance,
That is beginning to make sense...
To those advocating their prinicples,
And beliefs with enforced implementation...
...

If one keeps a pace to face life,
With a welcoming to set new challenges...
Without seeking first to qualify fears,
It is doubtful if someone like this...
...

Think of it this way!
The time you take today,
To place judgement on anyone...
Will it make a difference?
...

I am glad I represent a generation aging.
With an acceptance to reminisce and reflect,
Upon the times I have been blessed to remember.
I am glad to be able to think with a thought process,
...

Is there for me any chance,
That in my life...
I might witness,
A world in peace.
...

It is there,
And I have it to give.
My faith! To celebrate.
...

Waking up and giving 'thanks',
Should dawn...
At the crack of the morning.
...

Keep what you value treasured.
That which is kept,
And known to you unmeasured.
To protect with your best.
...

Backbiters decided,
They would discredit the deeds done...
By the wrong people coming to their aid.
Those seething with envy and jealousy did this,
...

People seldom select rebellion.
From a truth spoken and understood.
Yet those upset and labelled rebels,
Know too well...
...
