Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Their entire reality,
Is based upon what they believe...
From behind the steering wheels,
Of their cars.
...

It is not easy to write.
Even if one likes it...
Writing is like a challenge.
An obstacle to face.
...

I have this 'thing' about time.
And those who express,
Time for them is meaningless.
...

There is a global climbing,
Economic deficit.
And those hungry and homeless,
Had nothing to do with it.
...

Is it a duty,
For those wise...
To take it upon themselves,
To touch others' lives?
...

Why would I want to be a part of your life,
Right now?
When you had...
Never been around to give me reason.
...

Let me set the record straight,
Before some other novice initiates...
Another round of ignorance,
For immature fools to immulate.
...

Dieing is not an option,
When one is upset with life.
I like to think of it as a request,
One makes...
...

No one should feel threatened,
To serve a life sentenced...
Spent surrounded where people enjoy,
Mediocrity cemented in ignorance...
...

Is raunchy and stooping low,
The best way to go?
For someone seeking attention,
To expose an overloaded ego...
...
