Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Remember when I said,
'Something' was unfolding?
'That' was directed for those who understood.
...

The behavior of your religion sickens.
And the wickedness observed that you portray...
Will not delay how I am perceived by God!
Not 'if' you are as close as you say you are!
...

I could,
With this prose...
Ramble on,
Nonsensical.
...

Your quest is to defeat me,
To relieve a sense of winning.
A challenge for you comes as a must.
And my needs are quite simple.
...

There is no time left,
To waste in contemplation.
Or sit in waiting for days to return,
To make the comforting of insecurities...
...

I am often amused,
By those electing to be suppressed...
In distressed environments.
And since they disrespect themselves,
...

I am...
Outraged.
Livid.
...

A sickness condoned,
Becomes a disease...
Too difficult to explain to cure or rid.
And tolerated for what it is,
...

I understand those,
Who chased the taste of money.
I also admire those,
Who stick to their convictions.
...

If you want to know more,
About what it is like to experience life.
Ignore everything you've heard about it.
And on your own,
...
