Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I see you in the Spring.
So full of life...
And enjoying it.
...

You,
Are much too negative.
And you wish to impose it,
Upon those who oppose it.
...

You can give your regards.
And your attention to whom you wish.
But I know who I am.
And I am the best at this!
...

The fearmongers,
Are soliciting your attention.
They want you to feel uneasy,
And threatened.
...

Philosophy spoken only works,
When the doing of it...
Is not so academically induced.
From classrooms.
...

I live life!
Free from trying to impress.
That seems such an outdated mindset to have.
To exist seeking approval.
...

First of all,
I'm not trying to be lost up in your love.
I've come equipped with a flashlight,
If you noticed.
...

It's easy to sit back,
And say who needs direction.
But it seems as if those with the most lip,
Are the ones who are the least prepared to lead.
...

They had loved the fact,
They had the power...
To stop someone in their tracks.
Power to stop someone...
...

You've been sent assorted messages.
And told what would exist.
But you prayed faithfully...
To keep your life sweetened.
...
