Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

What has defeated
A greatness beginning
To crumble beneath our feet?
It has been an obsession,
...

You need to mind 'your' business!
And 'you' need to mind your business...
Understanding their business is none of yours.
AND...
...

The moment you allowed my pain...
Believing that will promote your gain,
Was the beginning of your unraveling.
You used all of your institutions...
...

Upon your arrival to this day witnessed,
Know your blessed journey
Is on the right path.
Feel it...
...

When you are quick to tear something down...
Know what it is and your feelings connected to it!
Make sure you are prepared to let it go.
And most important...
...

It's never too late?
For a way of life,
You wish to resuscitate...
That is clearly dead and gone!
...

Suppressed by their own demonic ties.
And pewed upon by pulpit culprits.
Preached to follow doctrines that do not apply,
To a wholesomeness...
...

No interest in confessing,
A depressed state of mind...
Others will have no time,
Trying to understand.
...

I am sharing what I have.
I do not own it.
Even if I did...
And should stop paying taxes,
...

I am not one of the muppets.
Having fantasies is not my dilemma!
Dissecting it from those
Trapped in costumes
...
