Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What has been done,
Has been done.
What has been said,
Has been said.
...

People are awakening to realize,
They've been played.
Even those paid to be biased,
To spy on others...
...

Dark the moods.
Dark too those attitudes.
The ones that 'use' to visit and annoy,
When I felt quite defeated.
...

The only true thing today I would honestly believe,
Is an annoyance I daily faced that would suddenly leave.
And all that was connected to it,
Calmed me down to enjoy a peacefulness.
...

Each one needs a title.
It's not enough to call them by their first names.
Or not be introduced,
Without hearing one's résumé.
...

There had been a significance in it for some,
To have others believe...
Those that have been selected and hand picked,
To be depicted as having mental issues...
...

'Why are those people standing in line so patiently.
What's going on? '

They've been allowed to trade in their excuses,
...

Going, going, gone!

The pulchritude of those who believe,
They were born to lead.
...

There is a need for some,
To get their pleasure felt and delivered...
Whipped and beatened.
And treated sadistically.
...

Honesty is often admired.
And in privacy...
Those known to be that way,
Are more than welcomed.
...
