Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Those wants and wishes have materialized,
Right before their eyes.
And that which has been stated not wished,
Appears with no disguise.
...

With a slacking done to piggyback.
Some boot the doer,
Strapped in a saddle and allowing that.
Some boot the doer,
...

Easy made cake...
Doesn't taste,
Homemade.
...

Status and who has it...
Isn't often in appearance detected.
Status and who has it...
May be influenced,
...

Limited environments,
Is not a dismissable excuse to use...
To keep one's mind,
From experiencing the value of life...
...

Snipping those cackles that crack,
To chatter in 'meows' like a pack of cats...
Sounding too much like a stepping on dried leaves,
On an Autumn stroll through a quiet park.
...

Letting go of a pain felt,
Is not with a time given...
A destination claimed,
For anyone else to suggest...
...

I've,
Memories to keep.
I've,
Lived life for reasons.
...

It wasn't the flowing blond weave,
Attached to your head like a hat.
Or those blue eye contacts.
...

It is not that truth is disrespected.
It was never introduced.
It is those deceptions that are believed.
And the people are upset,
...
