Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A daily routine,
Of a regimented and implemented discipline...
Done with a purpose and meaning meant,
Can and will cement a positive direction...
...

This may be unbelievable to fathom,
But...
There are those living today,
Who are unable to face...
...

If all cults weren't divisions,
Of existing religious beliefs...
Why are just a few,
Considered illegitimate?
...

Do you want to...
Live each day doing everything that you like.
Do you want to...
Have a crave and satisfy appetites.
...

Make up your mind.
Decide the moment has come,
For you to consider sacrificing your time.
With a determination to concentrate,
...

Well...
There is always room left,
To be 'lofty' and philosophical...
About all that is happening around us,
...

I use to be accused of making,
Some of the most outrageous comments.
With a cynical and sarcastic flair.
But today my statements are not as offensive,
...

If you really want to know what it's like...
To hold a pillow tight without crying,
But...
Feeling inside your emotions are dying.
...

You leave these memories you don't need,
To fade away.
Who wants to remember...
People so driven with their no hiding hate.
...

I want to love you,
Like...
Corn on the cobb just dripping with butter.
I do.
...
