Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Mistakes to make,
By those who claim them made that way.
Become less to forgive as quickly.
Especially when one has grown older to know,
...

There are people who live openly.
To be honest and respectful to others.
With nothing to hide or secretly disguised.
But often seem to be these days,
...

Mind botched.
A hodgepodge patched.
With put together pieces.
That fit or match.
...

Give to me love.
Not abundance of your aggravation.
Love.
I've had enough of your agitation.
...

Where Are The 'Christians'.
Those self righteous quoting scriptures.
Yet allow hunger and homelessness.
Not far from their backyards.
...

These are not those days.
To make false statements to stay that way.
No.
These are not those days.
...

Don't accept a mess.
Delivered directly to your address.
Just to get you included,
In an old although ageless foolishness.
...

Only those seeking to be evil,
Will begin a confrontation.
And then without hesitation,
Deny their participation.
...

The more harrassing the madness.
That embarrasses to leave,
Disrespect left permanently effective.
More madness to spread becomes accepted.
...

So many can not be genuine.
With it in them to be,
Genuine.
...
