Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Everything one owns,
Or believe to own...
Has a theft connection.
Someone, somewhere...
...

A nonthreatening reverence,
Is encouraged with support...
Much quicker.
Without hesitation.
...

You seek fame.
And a name.
With no integrity...
Or dignity with identity attached!
...

Do not think you have used me without my knowledge.
Or that my silence is a sign of approval to be duped.

I have been aware of your activities,
...

Let me clarify.
I do understand.
My world too was small,
At a time.
...

The place is overwhelmed,
With a fragmentation.
And for a united nation to declare unity,
Many believe it should be seen.
...

Snap, pop, hip hop.
Nonstop!
Have you had enough?
...

You've given me up to boost danger.
A mistake made with a stranger.
Who knocked on your door proposing,
With a cut glass rock and plated gold.
...

Please.
No need to apologize.
We all have a reason to misinterpret.
...

Taunted by fears of loss.
Inflicted to fidget and sit.
That may cost them dearly.
And set to protect,
...
