Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The most difficult thing to do,
For one in a leadership position...
And is capable to lead,
Is to show an accountability witnessed...
...

At nighttime I have found my mind,
Can not unwind.
You've got my insight on a hold...
All thoughts I've left behind.
...

There's something really wrong about that!
Those facts you ration.
There is something really wrong about that!
They're not based in truth of action.
...

When you've been hurt and it is felt,
Is if felt like no one else?
When you've been scandalized to dirt...
Is this a group effort that's hurt?
...

Starting all over again to make things better,
Will do...
What?
Make things better?
...

Throwing the bums out...
Will accomplish one thing.
An end of tourism.
And noticeable vacancies.
...

Those glory days...
Come to be lived and meant for seekers of adventure.

Those glory days...
...

The lessons are there,
To be taught.
But too few have the patience to learn.
...

A fated greed is celebrated.
Who becomes destroyed.
The needs of people are negated,
Yet who is annoyed.
...

The continuance of wasted life,
In wars fought...
To depict another's right to inflict conflict,
Produces not a single winner.
...
