Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Tease those with the least...
That a college degree is needed.
Feed them greed to tax!
Sit back and watch them display dysfunctions.
...

An escape route from reality has been discovered.
Those cherishing their delusions,
Have come to sigh a breath of relief.
A last minute effort to smother them with truth...
...

'Poppa...
What's reality? '

Come here, sweet baby!
...

'D-minished! '

Plummeted is more appropriate.
Like a vanishing of prerequisites.
...

Come,
And spend the night with me.
Unleash those temptations.
And be freed of them.
...

I've learned a few things...
With time and age.
And what experience brings.
...

It's not that I want everything for nothing.
I just want a part of you,
I value.
That side of you clouded by your moods.
...

I'm.Not.The.One...
You wanna bait,
2-fake-a-chase.
NotmeNotme, no!
...

I don't know if I am ready or not.
And what would I not be ready for...
If I were to be ready?
...

If those 'things' did not exist,
Would you still be who you are?
They have given you a sense of status.
And without them,
...
