Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

She seeks to be validated.
And...
He seeks to be validated.
And...
...

A fluid mind turned on...
Wants to stay strong!
With...
An energy that motivates initiative.
...

If I spent all of my time,
Thinking about heartache...
With accusations to make,
In rebuttle to naysayers...
...

What point is there to be made,
To repeatedly acknowledge...
Those who sabotage themselves,
With the hopes one day they will be embraced...
...

It all has been stated,
Many times before to go ignored.

Once the elderly become targets,
To direct disrespect...
The entire foundation begins to poison.
...

Marinating in self indulgence,
Over a period of time done too long...
Retrieves what one does not expect.
A waste regarded as tasteless and outdated.
...

How is one kept motivated with insight?
How is ambition initiated?
Where does discipline and respect for it come from?
And who with anything they do to get done,
...

I'm tired of giving it.
My patience and with love.
I'm tired of giving it,
Everything I need.
...

Whatever it is that is perceived of me,
With or without my decision made for preferences...
To change daily my appearance if I wish.
And this truth I speak you can believe,
...

Money green.
The color of it most effective,
When the having of it...
Produces impaired vision,
...
