Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

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

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.
...

Remember when you rejected my apology?
And I did my best...
With effort that still makes me wonder,
'Why'?
...

Did you think I came to you,
To tenderize the moment?
I didn't come for that.
...

'Did you not say this was undiscovered,
Fresh dirt?
This is the same dirt that has been here for years.
What is so unique about it? '
...

I think I've said enough,
About the importance of letting things be...
What they are.
Without the wanting to enhance them,
...

Excited by the idea
Of exploring the depths of my boredom!
Even though the task itself,
Should not last that long!
...
