Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I've learned,
Not to confess too much.
Even to those I 'suspect' I can trust.
...

I do apologize.
My interests have been totally misunderstood.
I have no resources to fund,
Those homeless and needing to overcome their poverty.
...

It isn't there sitting,
To provide incentive...
As it was mentioned to be intended.
...

Wanting to mend them.
And to fix.
Those Broken relationships,
We came to know but miss.
...

With that mind that you have,
And all the things that you can do...
Why you only chase,
The money?
...

Blessed and not confused about it!
Not at all.
No longer chasing rainbows,
Rabbit feet or four leaf clovers.
...

The only people attempting to get something for free,
Are those blocking the road...
Preventing the ones from claiming,
What rightfully belongs to them.
...

Long have I traveled to deny them!
Things I had obtained...
Just to prove a success I've gained!
...

She had bigger gonads than Goliath!
Oh yes she did!
She introduced me to her boyfriend.
And I was living still at the crib!
...

Wanting...
With deepening needs,
That haunt me.
No one suspects,
...
