Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Seldom did not often come.
For some to notice or mention it.
Like it has in these fast speeding days.
Especially,
...

A fool who takes credit,
For being prevented...
From being considered,
An idiot in public.
...

No one forever remains to stay 21.
That age for those young,
Rushing with wishes to become.
Comes and goes.
...

Suddenly there are those,
Lowering their turned up noses.
Offended by lies.
To them from podiums and pulpits told.
...

Whatever it is decided you will do,
From this day forward.
Promise yourself and others too.
Reasons to find fault or place blame,
...

Who would ever believe,
Despicability to become...
An attribute sought to seek.
And required as a prerequisite,
...

It is not so much what is represented.
It is how it is presented.
With many wishing less of it,
That has been consented.
...

There are still many living,
Who remember when...
Having a conscious willingness,
To not tell the truth.
...

Only you!
Yes...
You.
Can attempt to undo.
...

What was once one's own.
And readily shown,
To be thick and Luscious.
Does over time become limp.
...
