Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Many...
Are their dysfunctions,
That has weakened them in envy.
With mind fed jealousies.
...

We've got to get together and defeat the beast that eats...
Any remnants of peace!
That beast wants to cease a potential feasting of peace,
Released.
...

I am that I AM.
And whoever it is that decides,
The I AM that is me is not worthy...
Gives me too much attention.
...

I've been accused of not giving.
When that is all I've ever done.
I've also been accused of not participating,
Although when I did...
...

What 'blindness' can be associated,
With anyone choosing...
To walk down a deadend road.
Into a brick wall.
...

Overbloated by boasted ideals.
And consumed by boosted images.

None of this is real but affects mindsets.
...

You say you have been waiting for me,
To express to you genuine love?

Would that be before or after...
...

When they become prepared and ready,
To be who they are...
With clarity and confidence,
Few will be there to care.
...

Did you leave your cookie cutter,
Near that boiling pot?
And it got too hot,
To get your cookies baked to taste.
...

Just because a bit of snow is falling.
Doesn't mean you'll get a gift for Christmas.
You should want to be the giver,
And deliver this...
...
