Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Understanding.
With this done to say is understood.
But not to comprehend,
What really is understood to understand.
...

Eliminating waste fascinates so many.
Feeling to have earned the ability,
To display their wasteful ways.
On daily basis.
...

"Comeon.
You can do it.
Repeat after me...
I...rule...and...you...obey."
...

Rich it is and vintage.
Those making attempts to re-invent,
Old and expired games to play.
Peeled from a molding of rusting chips.
...

Misplaced loyalty.
Has its own price to pay.
Its own guilt to remorse it.
With this to personalize,
...

No one can predict,
Or admit with certainty.
What tomorrow for them may bring.
And no one should confess,
...

How lowdown,
Can a showdown already low go.
With a doing of intended pretense,
To represent a democracy mocked...
...

You, me and others too!
Have got to give the truth,
Conversation.
With interest given undenied.
...

Answers to questions,
Are not always the responses...
Received with anticipation,
To hear and get.
...

There are those thought to be,
Objects.
Subjected to scrutiny.
Profiled.
...
