Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Rushing to re-write a script,
Already publicly...
The star of the cast,
Quoted lines from it.
...

Sometimes it is best,
To turn away a shoulder.
Than have a pressured back,
Constantly bent over.
...

Emboldened posers daggered.
And cloaked.
In darkened corners peeking.
From shadows sharing...
...

Flagrant.
With wicked and vicious intent.
Contented nefarious indulgences
Continue to descend a mindset,
...

Some do make attempts,
To commit and get involved.
They attend protest rallies.
Local community meetings.
...

Increasingly difficult it is,
To keep one's cool...
When the hell they have created
Generates the heat,
...

Too many find,
That they have started...
Humming to a doo-doo.
To not know when,
...

The more one understands,
To perceive has been made...
Comprehended and understood.
Each day presents,
...

Not always is it the good stuff
That remains stuck,
In a mind to remember.
Sometimes the taste,
...

Updating to simplify,
A revised reality...
Complying to satisfy wishes,
Of a guarantee to promise...
...
