Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

To cling to that which is changing,
Splits and widens the gap...
Between that which is wished,
And dismissing the honesty attached
...

Things that people did well...
Like lieing.
Cheating.
Feeding greed.
...

It would have been great,
If some folks knew...
When games of hide and seek,
And dodge ball...
...

Stop teasing them.
These folks aren't about to end their sins!
Are You kidding?
They need to be taught lessons.
...

Not gonna deal with the BS no more.
Or with the dirt left at my front door.
No more, no more, no more...
No more, no more!
...

For the betterment of humanity.
Not greed are we here!
We are to exceed temptations allowed to breed.
Not to curse those who bleed,
...

You wished me well.
And peace released in my life,
For me to tell.
With good health and prosperity,
...

Their values are gone and their minds have cracked.
Every belief taught that they've had...
Has unraveled with the dollar,
And that's a fact.
...

Here it is two thousand and nine.
And you are still finding things to complain about...
While you sit, sip on soft drinks
And gossip on your behind!
...

A novelty.
A thing.
A commodity.
Something thought to be without feeling.
...
