Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Self serving and self righteous platitudes,
Could prehaps have a purpose...
If,
They were not made to excuse the abusive...
...

There is one basic problem that sits between them.
They all have been conditioned to believe,
Each one of them were born to lead.
...

Those seeking hidden meanings,
And deep secret messages...
From something expressed direct.
Is too complicated for me.
...

The only life one can live best,
Is one's own.
Free of anyone's professional interpretaton.
And needless guess work,
...

We've all been encouraged to speak our minds.
To participate in the democratic process.
And to learn from others with respect for them as well.
Striving to become independent thinkers.
...

People believing someone seeks their attention,
Become curiously disappointed when this is not sought.
Some people are seen to even go out of their way,
To show someone they are being ignored.
...

There always seems to be something relevent,
About the re-occurrence of facts.
They remain consistent.
No matter how many versions are told,
...

Rare and unique,
Are these two champions.
Serena and Venice,
Blood sisters of tennis.
...

Being on the cutting edge and daring,
Are those of a pioneering spirit.
Out of the box are these jaw droppers.
And unsatisfied with the status quo.
...

If you knew the outcome of your journey,
What would you do...
If you knew?
...
