Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Abandoned to restrict is love.
Approval of it now has established requirements.
Today preferences are pre-requisites for it.
Abandoned to restrict is love.
...

There are some people who achieve,
An obtaining of recognition to them received.
With a belief a falsity of shown pompousness,
Sets them apart in certain social circles.
...

Who lives with wishes to be stepped upon?
Like a cemented sidewalk,
Condoning to support more than a few cracks.
Who would be conscious to want or welcome that...
...

I remember a time and 'use' to believe,
All people were totally honest.
And would not entertain the thought to deceive.
No one I knew disrespected consciously.
...

People can't do anything,
Without some change.
Yet people always fuss about,
A doing of the same unchanged.
...

Don't be the one to step up to the plate,
Without a purpose or decision to make.
Be the one to step up to that plate,
With a purpose and decision made.
...

We all do things we shouldn't do,
But still we do them to get done!
Then when someone calls us stupid,
We refuse to accept what we did was dumb.
...

So blessed am I to have achieved,
A peace of mind I have received.
And not to find it a priority,
To remain feeling victimized...
...

I've shared and given with a doing to evolve.
And no one's issues have I ever solved.
With a wanting or a wish to get that involved.
Nor do I intend to pay attention,
...

Too wonderful are the moments,
To have come and gone with a doing they bring...
Left for one to do in a remembering.
...
