Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The only shame I claim,
Is not being honest.
When I took it upon myself...
To decide you could not bear,
...

I am 'not' Indiana Jones.
If you have something to tell me...
And you believe I should probe,
Until you find that act safe.
...

You are made to understand,
One just met
Is trying to forget
Another who has claimed
...

Now confessions have been professed.
After heartbreaks have occurred,
And many needless deaths...
Have been left to upset!
...

Prone to lie.
Prone to seek alibis...
To coverup and deny.
Prone to articulate,
...

Whether you get it from me or not...
You 'are' going to get it.
I know you would rather I be someone else.
Perhaps someone you have dealt with before.
...

Our interests have been,
In the support of our common greed.
Anyone now upset,
About the direction our government has set...
...

There is more!
Much much more,
Of this to come.
More than you may welcome.
...

Do or don't...
Whatever!
Your participation now,
Is neither welcomed or embraced.
