Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You may visit upon this land.
But to force debate of its direction...
Is not a matter to be question.
Or demand answers you expect.
...

What is this 'image'
We have been blessed to reflect?
If we are not, indeed...
Born into a physicality,
...

Blocked but not stopped,
Is a flow that can overwhelm.
And...
Deflected,
...

You will,
Choose to listen.
You may,
Sometimes refuse.
...

Spectacular and unconventional.
With a little bit of poverty.
And a lot of dysfunction.
But I couldn't pay...
...

I'm sure they now feel foolish.
Those who publicly ridiculed.
Those who raised such banners high...
To announced themselves as uninformed,
...

The longer you waited,
In hiding with false claims.
The later it became...
To undo any resentment,
...

Do choose.
And, select your steps.
Do choose.
Don't second guess to be a wreck.
...

Dramatic change!
Not only was it promised...
It was cheered on as a need.
...

What date are you awaiting,
To appreciate your life?
What security you believe is promised...
If you elect a future that delights.
...
