Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Not to live a life of lies,
Is the only life...
One should live to want.
And done to have.
...

A child will destroy a gift of a toy.
Just for the attention.
Of doing this gets.
With it given.
...

Peace to find it within one's mind.
Has no better time for it to be found.
Than now.
Continuing to participate,
...

Every opportunity given,
Has to be proven it is deserved.
And it takes a willingness to remain disciplined.
With a going beyond what is expected.
...

Becoming aware,
Is a difference made.
That permanently changes everything.
A clarity so clear,
...

Truth and delusion fight.
To see who rules,
Over truth or delusion.
While lies told to be sold,
...

Moving forward.
Is a courageous undertaking.
Easier said than actually done.
As one confronts the unknown to challenge.
...

When one has lived,
Knowing what it is they most enjoy.
That decision made,
Belongs to the one who does it.
...

There are those who despise,
Experiences they have had in their lives.
To not from them grow.
Unable to take criticisms.
...

Positive results,
To achieve them believed.
Takes time to develop.
Than negativity rushes to hear.
...
