Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

So much wanted that is wished,
Seems to come with required prerequisites.
Just to test one's desire.
...

I'm one to adventure life.
Accepting it as a process.
I feel blessed to be granted it to bloom, flourish and grow.
Seeking purpose.
...

Perhaps it is okay...
For you to decide I am okay,
Today!
But I remember how my yesterdays were spent.
...

The real tragedy today that exists,
Are those unresisting...
With mindsets rapidly diminished.
...

You seem to be able to express yourself,
So easily.
So relaxed you seem.
As if you do not have a care in the world!
...

Mine!
Even in the giving of it,
None left I can say...
Remains to exist.
...

The hour of the liars,
Closes in upon them quick.
Those whose lips have flapped with lies...
Have found their alibis,
...

Does that apparatus,
Provide you with a sense of status?
Does the way someone dress,
Immediately impresses you...
...

Enjoy whatever it is in your life,
You believe supplies a benefit.
And if during your journey,
Limitation is not addressed to arrest
...

If it was that simple...
Why the need,
For a depth of explanation?
...
