Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If you stick around,
And...
Long enough.
You will stay to be stuck,
...

Lieing has never been considered,
To be the greatest of all sins.
But a lie can destroy 'everything',
One knows about the Ten Commandments.
...

One who speaks,
With an unfiltered tongue.
And without the gift,
Of polished rhetoric done...
...

There is not a price,
I will accept to be paid...
To disguise my identity.
Or the dignity I have earned,
...

Standards have begun to become,
Redefined.
Limits imposed to restrict to conformity,
No longer today represents the 'norm'
...

No love is better,
Than that love one has.
To offer with it given,
Without expectation.
...

Dedicated are the mothers.
There and shown to address.
Before our fathers, sisters or brothers.
Or others who may attempt,
...

Take away these mind crunching days.
To snatch and stitch to another,
More wholesome...
Consciousness.
...

Who do you come to when...
Your 'world' begins to cloud.
Who do you come to when...
The freshness of the air,
...

People today...
Are no longer anxious to vote,
As a privileged routine.
Acquired by their ancestors.
...
