Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Forget it.
Clinging onto times now gone.
Forget it.
Holding onto resentments.
...

Why can't people just know things?
Without the need,
To have others explore...
The depths of their experiences.
...

The one thing I find remarkable...
About your insistence,
To manipulate your way into the limelight.
With a persistence you solicit.
...

I live to explore!
Not to sit in the midst of discoveries...
To be compared by others,
As the way my life should be!
...

If you do not awaken...
To make God the priority in your life,
Each day.
Perhaps you are deserving,
...

Impulsive and full of himself.
That is the image of the legacy he leaves.
Incompetent?
That is not the right word.
...

When there is no clear division,
Between what is right and wrong...
Deducted from an observation,
Impressed upon one's thinking process?
...

Evil to entice.
To have me take a bite.
No evil as you like it,
Is welcomed here.
...

Don't prolong that which has gone,
With a wanting to replace it.
To substitute it for something else.
Nothing can beat what has already been done,
...

Just do your deeds and be done with it.
Why struggle against ignorance...
When the force of it,
Can create powerful setbacks.
...
