Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If it continues to make you feel better,
To laugh at my efforts and attempts I've made...
To contribute 'something' productive.
Go right ahead.
...

Some may come to find they beg,
Not to be left alone...
When mates decided to leave.
And from shared homes flee!
...

An entertained mind seeking to get it easy...
And with a breeze,
Can not be expected to think of life...
As a blessing to accept.
...

After one has become accustomed,
To experience repeated attempts to reach peaks...
From cloud covered and mist strewn valleys,
Of course there is going to be some bragging...
...

My time to exist is in the 'now'.
Not in a hesitation waiting.
Nor procrastinating in dreams wished.
...

Sometimes it is easier to hide,
A red elephant in a closet.
Than to open the door of one,
Looking for a good mood to wear.
...

Think about it.
Is it really fair,
That anyone declared intelligent...
Should assume those not given that designation,
...

Violent computer generated games,
Are being embedded in the imaginations...
Of unsuspecting children.
Just about every TV show,
...

Collective outrage,
Seems only to connect...
When those unsuspecting,
Become affected.
...

You should get more involved.

'In the doing of what? '
