Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Lockdown.
Martial Law will befall and appall,
With a lockdown.
Too many think they are entitled to present,
...

Battle fatigue.
From fought wars,
And declarations of victorious...
Outcomes to praise.
...

Don't be the one to soften.
Keep toughened up,
Through all the stuff.
Dropped to dump from others pitched.
...

From all of those yesterdays gone,
To forget the importance...
Of that which was wished.
Few come to think,
...

Some live to step,
From one stage of life...
To graduate to another.
Without much attention given...
...

Collapse!
And...
Just like that.
Beliefs of disbelievers,
...

Without them felt from within,
Digested and understood to comprehend
What purpose is served to hear words,
Heard.
...

Solicit to get what's wished.
And submit with commitment.
Urges to have don't go away,
That fast or quickly.
...

If kept to value,
Had been life and everyone's right...
To worship as they please,
With a faith that expresses...
...

Picked from the many,
To depict as fixtures of scriptures.
As a way of life to idolize images,
Symbolized in pictures.
...
