Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Boo doo doo boop.
Boo doo doo boop.
Boo doo doo boop.
Boo doo doo boop.
...

People today do not want to face their own demons!
And why should they?
When it has been made more convenient,
For them to pretend...
...

The only advice that I will accept...
You leave to give me,
Is to say...
'Walk on your path your way.'
...

Weren't we once in love?
Or was that just another game to play?
Weren't we once there for one another?
Or was that just for public display?
...

Remember the ridiculous?
When outrageous public statements made,
Were attributed to those considered nonconformists.
Or at least depicted as militant with violent wishes!
...

How are you really feeling when you're feeling,
Not quite your best as some expect?
When performing for others becomes a test.
...

The best opportunity humanity has,
To better strenghten communication...
As an unnatural devastation,
Approaches the Gulf, the East...
...

To be different is a positive,
That should be emphasized...
In our children's lives.
...

The mentality of one's ignorance,
Is often fed from birth.
One's environment exposes them...
To a comfort they grow to thirst.
...

Desperate to deceive with commitments made,
Are those who choose to be adversaries.
The ones who will do and say anything...
Just to get their way.
...
