Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

No one who has paid attention,
With common sense and kept sanity.
To know that today's current events.
Did not occur to happen overnight.
...

Sooner or later unconscious people discover,
They should not decide to pick others.
To use with a boosting themselves up.
With lies to tell for an attention to get.
...

Excuse me.
I just got off the train.
How best do I get to Pinecrest Drive?
I new around here.
...

Always there is a way.
For anyone to find time.
Just for themselves.
Those who claim they are too busy.
...

Love it.
When it comes to be given.
That something wished.
You wanted to get for your own.
...

In the midst of a witnessed great divide.
With the truth to know it to be and see.
Criticized in a way,
Finding words to describe and title this.
...

You two should take what you are doing inside.

"We tried that already, officer.
But our spouses?
...

Substance and content.
One day to be exhibited,
As relics from a forgotten past.
And absurdities to regard,
...

Who would ever come to think,
Truth is in a fight for its survival.
And being attacked.
By a beefed up deception on steroids.
...

What is done to see.
And hear to be heard.
Takes a sudden and severe u-turn.
By one from a podium.
...
