Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

How can it be continued to believe.
That those elected to sit,
In positions of decision making leadership.
Should not reflect,
...

How powerful is delusion?
And its acceptance as a way of life?
Disputed is the truth and reality,
Of the presence of a virus.
...

Relentlessly under estimated.
Are the ones believed mild and weak.
Always respectful and expressing,
Sincerity to give it.
...

Flipped out.
And defended to support,
A madness beyond craze.
Flipped out.
...

Unrecognized,
A stalking that follows...
Misdeed doers and their evil ways.
Unrecognized and gone unsuspected,
...

The only thing,
Experiencing life...
Does not guarantee or provide,
Is ambition, incentive.
...

Thieves believe,
What they steal...
To claim it owned to keep,
Is also theirs to destroy.
...

Massive is the detachment.
Effectively to have attracted,
Minds deluded.
As an entitlement to value.
...

When reality takes the stand.
With truth as evidence,
Repeatedly to understand it...
As clear to know,
...

Straining is the drain.
Sustaining to remain,
Pointless.
To complain,
...
