Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Reduced to fulfill
A need to expand
Obsessions.
Needs of greeds have succeeded
...

How deep is a forgiveness given,
When forgetting is remembered.
With dialogue set to reload?
...

Never ending searches,
With fraught only few can cease.
Are taken across borders
In the hopes of something fresh
...

Protecting one's domain,
Is a natural human instinct.
To have some say...
Which way this should be done.
...

So,
What are you going to do?
Keep running away...
In pursuit,
...

The doubling of standards lived,
Has cracked foundations...
Of tired traditions,
Rocked by what 'truth' is!
...

Misogamy splintered,
Keeping mysogynist split.
Those with thoughts of misology
Can be said are those who benefit!
...

Step to the left or to the right.
Get out of my sight...
I'm in no mood to be polite.
The atmosphere stinks like raw sewage,
...

An environment created,
Has spurned much heated debate.
In investigations...
Solicited by allegations,
...

If I want my neighbor to project
And reflect a wholesomesness,
Why do I continue to tolerate
Such a stench in my own backyard?
...
