Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Declaration of ownership?
I look at that this way
You pay for guardianship,
And that's it.
...

It's too early for many to see the dawn.
And much too late for it to dawn on some,
With or without the light of day appearing...
In clearing skies.
...

What's going on?
What is this all about?
And why is that guy standing,
With his hands above his head.
...

The fact that I can change my mind,
Anytime I want to and be committed.
To proving I can be unstable,
Should prove to anyone else.
...

Caught up in rough stuff?
Bluffed and beaten by mistreatment?
Feeling low.
And under the weather?
...

Personal vendettas,
Seem more to be a solicitation,
Of an invitation sent...
By one.
...

No bits of candy do I have to hand out.
Or other pieces of sweetened treats.
I've come to share observations not ignore them.
With a truth I welcome.
...

In the taking of risks,
One makes the decision...
To boldly take those steps,
With a fear inside that may be felt...
...

Never provide your own self servicing,
At someone else's expense.
This has not proven to be beneficial.
Plus the repercussions of doing it,
...

Sorry for the interruption!

As a reminder,
If you have not gotten the message by now...
...
