Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You let me in,
Now I should locate your needs?
What makes you think,
I am here to dig for clues.
...

You are right.
You did nothing to me.
From where you sit assessing it.
And from your point of view,
...

The only concern I have,
Is keeping you aware...
That I 'am' concerned.
With the keeping of such statements spared.
...

It's in the boom boom that fades.
It's in the boom boom decayed.
It's in the boom boom,
Mistakes made,
...

The wearing of a man's suit,
A little boy may easily imitate.

But a boy in a man's body,
...

Just because those who 'have',
Opposed to those who 'have not'...
Seem to possess keys,
To a treasure chest they can unlock.
...

Some believe,
Any lie told...
Is just as easy to erase,
From memory...
...

Remember...
They are there to represent 'your' interests.
Your standards.
Your way of life.
...

Don't you get so obsessed,
To forget what's important to you.
Remember that.
And apply that message,
...

Why would it surprise you,
That those with the least amount of life experience...
Are the first to express,
Their opinions about someone else.
...
