Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Blinded at the border.
With minds distorted.
Confused by delusions bought.
To seek conflicts sought.
...

Feel that spark?
From a light.
To had believed it dimming.
Giving darkness for years,
...

Crushed.
Into a mixture of dust.
This accepted sniffing of madness.
A few minds to have been poisoned,
...

No.
It will not be easy.
Bringing a sought death,
To historic falsities.
...

A decision made to move,
In an entirely different direction.
Unknown by anyone,
What they will face.
...

Where one receives,
A college degree.
To qualify a knowledge obtained.
That certifies them to be,
...

A throwback wished,
For many who still may get...
That wish for common sense to return.
With truth to speak it.
...

As face value?
Nothing is what it is meant to be.
And a probing is distanced intentionally.
...
