Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

At one time,
He was rumored to be unqualified.
Not only is he qualified...
He puts others to shame.
...

No interests do I have,
To revive useless concepts.
The time was ripe when they were fresh.
And your acceptance of them now,
...

They are seeking someone to blame,
For the deadend of their greed.
For the sloppiness of their gluttony.
For the selfishness they feed.
...

You are upset with me,
Because I have created my own success...
With sacrifice and patience.
In a place you told me I invited my own defeat.
...

In 'my' world...
I am the 'do-do'.
No gifts of grief,
Will anyone leave.
...

Change?
There is going to be change.
Drastic, immediate and effective.
...

No fear needed.
We are in the midst of a leader.
One who is determined,
A discipline comes.
...

Many have awakened,
To discover their realities sold.
Standards of life...
And that 'quality' emboldened,
...

I am not living my life to run away from fear!
No!
I am living my life to face fear,
And obstacles appearing.
...

I can repeatedly say...
For what is asked,
I am not equipped to deliver.
...
