Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

With no excuses.
Or made attempts of pretense,
To hide in my heart to expose and show.
What I feel is revealed.
...

People want more than they have,
Of what it is they're given.
And first to criticize the ones who serve.
...

Facts no longer matter.
Truth has been battered,
To disbelieve it had quality.
And those who remember,
...

Things are easy to laugh at
When misunderstood.
Easy to laugh at...
Until you see this does no good.
...

'Mrs. Poppington...
If they are derelict in performing their duties
As elected officials
And they represent their contituents,
...

God is in my life!
Always...
And forever.
He will make things right!
...

Sarcastic?
I am not!
I am cynical.
With touches of skepticism,
...

How can they be corrected?
When eyes have been set upon,
Incorrectness.
How can a pride be handed to them?
...

He said he was 'representin'
The peeps,
Who digged life with breath fresh!
And eyes so cleared...
...

They would spread lies,
On my sisters and I.
And they were relatives.
Preparing us very early...
...
