Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Faults and mistakes to admit.
Should these days,
Not embarrass anyone.
...

Impatience to lose patience.
Today?
Has no time for anyone,
To hesitate or procrastinate...
...

'All of it is so very sad.
The giving of greed to have.
With a deceiving to wish,
More of it had.
...

Exposed is the face.
Of ongoing historic conflicts.
All to do with race.
And one's color of skin.
...

Change to face and embrace it,
Is not a planned experience...
For anyone to schedule.
Nor is a normalcy,
...

'I would now like to take,
This opportunity...
To thank you.
For your tolerance.
...

The Earth...
Can be identified,
High above it.
Thousand of miles.
...

In the midst,
Of decisive decisions made.
To witness doing this sits,
President Biden.
...

Maintaining to obtain,
One's mental maintenance.
Takes a change of life.
To completely examine,
...

A climbed mountain,
Sinking down.
With enlightened people,
Grieving.
...
