Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A self-sabotaging committed,
Has to be witnessed in its effect,
To be believed.
...

Those tentacles of greed...
Have reached to squeeze,
Common sense...
From the minds of humanity.
...

You've got my loving running.
And I'm feeling dedicated,
To keep this heat succeeded.
...

You be proud.
Don't let those doubts sit,
Inside of you with ease.
Nor should you allow excuses,
...

In your mix,
You miss flavor.
With a leaving of your 'A' game.
In your mix,
...

It's too late to raid the caters.
Those who ate have scraped their plates.
With a rating of great as they ate.
...

Bad mouthing others,
Seems to be always done by those...
Who believe they are on the rise,
Of some social circuit acceptance.
...

Trust me.
When I get through with you...
You are going to wish,
You had not spent your time
...

Who would have thought
You and I could fall in love?
With a passion daring,
To be erased from us.
...

Why be self indulgent,
If the act is not a conscious effort?
Or participate in it with guilt?
Be still and know...
...
