Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Who we are and our priorities?
You still have your list?
Let's make sure,
We both have the same updates!
...

Anguish.
Stress.
Emotional depression...
Kept suppressed.
...

If my love satisfied...
I wanted to please you.
If I was by your side,
To aid and comfort you
...

If the terrorists are so envious
Of our way of life,
And want to destroy it...
Why are they practicing on themselves?
...

I'm so glad I stopped to learn,
How to feel empathetic with concern.
I'm happy I didn't pass that by...
Like so many
...

Words should not offend,
Or become twisted to bend
Curiosities!
Like a flower blooming,
...

Fish me up in nets.
Mesh closed to flesh,
I'm pressed.
Inspect me like the rest.
...

You give intelligent life a bad name.
Your behavior is quite ignorant...
And you display it without any shame.
A daily deposit of snide comments,
...

The cloak begins to slip off their backs.
No stepping aside or stepping to avoid,
Attacks.
This duo on top...
...

Such mischievious shifts,
Are keeping lights on in the empire.
Burdens of devotion begins to show
No loyalty in flight!
...
