Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Tomorrow.
And each one to acknowledge,
Followed.
Replacing images to idolize,
...

There are places in which,
So many accept those ambiguous moments.
Neither defined nor direct.
Yet many will follow with unconscious minds.
...

So much better it is,
For one to admit than deny.
A wallowing in the mud.
Then request dirt to be applied.
...

Finding it uniquely satisfying.
Many increasingly kneel to lick,
The shiny sceptre adorned...
By the recently elected royal speculator.
...

Anyone's commitment to truth.
Honesty and reality.
Is in no need today,
For approval or the seeking of it.
...

When anyone arrives,
At a destination to feel and know...
They have had enough B.S.
Whether dumped upon them.
...

Religiously based political theater.
And the relationship,
Politics and religion both today have...
Difficult to distinguish which,
...

Inferno.
Internal.
Maternal and paternal.
Blaze.
...

We ride on the back of dreams.
With eyes closed.
To overdose them.
Holding on tight to not let go.
...

The interpretation of an activity,
Meant to intend with a meaning to demean.
May have more of a significance.
Than the absence of evidence,
...
