Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Even upon their arrival,
Some will view them as aliens...
Or invaders.
...

Whatever is going on in your life,
You dislike yet initiated.
You should try...
Acknowledging that you had it your way.
...

If I took a topic and expounded upon it,
With a research that has been detailed...
Why would anyone become offended,
If what I had chosen to discuss...
...

If the doing of what I do to get done,
Was made to look any easier...
Those who believe that it is,
Would still be around!
...

No one will treat me anyway that they wish...
With beliefs I have become addicted,
To their nonsense overblown with foolishness shown.
And get away with it to petty my feelings of a relationship.
...

The creating of rivalries that eventually leave,
People improverished...
Builds up feelings of being superior,
And strengthens mental securities...
...

When people begin using excuses,
To destroy themselves with self abuse...
As a means to show their abilities,
To rely on crutches that allow them...
...

There comes a time in everyone's life,
When procrastination becomes a worn out vice...
To depend on to conveniently use,
By those choosing to remain undecisive.
...

No matter who is teleprompted to say it best.
With the aid of computerized corrected text.
There has been a definite downslide in the quality of life.
And less sense is made by those who become offended,
...

The only debate I wish to have with my neighbor,
Is over two million dollars I gave to them.
Oppose to the one million I had promised,
But made a decision I could afford to give them more.
...
