Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The inability to use deductive reasoning.
Campaigning unwittingly to be freed of fear.
Being influenced more by those who deceive.
Disbelieving the truth after it is received.
...

Left...
Behind!
Those who have closed the doors,
On themselves.
...

They accuse him for doing something,
They've been doing since time began.
Sneaking around!
And being unfaithful,
...

However you spend these festive days...
May they be the best,
Of your holidays.
...

What is it that you need,
I have not yet to give...
Or bestowed upon your desired wants.
...

The fruit that looms from my labor,
Is more often than not...
Bittersweet.
...

Were you upset,
By those who took you and your efforts for granted...
In the past?
...

To value life,
More than things.
Is a mindset that arrives,
For those who choose to see beyond...
...

All that is needed from you,
Is your presence.
And you are made to be convinced of this,
By those who sit and whittle,
...

Reprisals?
From them?
Forget it.
...
