Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

As that old saying goes,
If one continues to pose for selfies...
A message that was texted,
To digest the importance of it...
...

Dominate my dreams you do.
To put me through,
A loving each moment of this anguish.
...

So many awakening to discover they have aged,
Can not take it upon themselves...
To embrace and face the facts.
With a holding on to keep in their minds,
...

Does a common sense to have,
Make one a staunch believer.
Common sense,
Kept to receive.
...

Kids are dopin' up,
To keep their minds numb.
With wishes to eliminate,
Capers others made.
...

Only those who keep their minds closed...
Feel penalized.
Only those who keep their minds closed,
Get bowled over.
...

Don't sit and cry until your eyes dry.
Decide to go outside to satisfy,
A life to change it whenever you wish.
A life to change and not grieve over it.
...

As the Earth does its slow spin,
To then orbit on a fixed course...
Around a vast and gaseous Sun,
Taken for granted by everyone.
...

Not too many will review a taught lesson,
To remember from a session...
With renewed seriousness.
...

Only those without a clue,
Seeking with wishes...
For fortune and fame,
To obtain recognition and attention to get...
...
