Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

With your promoted to boast assumptions.
Get outta my life...
With deceptions fed about me.
...

I will never understand,
Or with intent pretend to comprehend...
Those who claim to have beliefs,
But from them no faith is released.
...

If I sought with a doing to be taught everyday,
That there is something I can improved upon...
In some way,
Why should I stay unconvinced?
...

I am only here to please 'THAT' which has created me,
Exclusively!
And that's it.
If for some reason you preceive I am here to please 'you',
...

I'm through with staging...
My aging.
It seems to have come,
To leave me stunned and numbed.
...

What purpose do I serve...
If not to validate the presence of my existence?
Is there any other reason,
I have been blessed with life to live?
...

I may appear to be layered in crust,
And trusted to mold to eventually rust.
Yet kept is a deliciousness to go untasted,
Although I know when kissed,
...

People forget...
Who lifted veils from their eyes.
Opened closed doors.
And knocked old fences down,
...

It's often difficult for many to face.
However...
Life experienced is about change.
With acceptance, disappointments...
...

Why be around stuff that collects dust,
Just to rust!
And doing it with a pride done to strut.
Why...
...
