Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Bored with your life?
And feel the best way to overcome,
The urge to strike with the biting done to someone...
Is to create conflict?
...

Energy I once had I thought to be everlasting,
Has slowed.
Each day I get up to quickly seek rest,
From all the mindlessness that gets me upset.
...

Anyone who has ever remained persistent,
With a fluid consistency...
Has met some opposition.
And is familiar with negativity.
...

Run from malaise.
That vague sense,
Of lost vitality.
Don't let the chase of malaise,
...

Up, down, inside and out!
That's my relationship I have with God.
The She, He, or It of this experience.
...

Many with a minature flow grown old,
Have overblown and exposing bluff that disrupts.
Just to get the followers of doers to give up...
What they know effective and correct,
...

Take what it is you can do,
And succeed with it.
No one has to know but you,
How deep the interest.
...

Find your own voice.
And in time you will recognize it,
To be just yours when that happens.
With a dismissing of those other voices,
...

Those troubles I have not.
To keep a frown upon my mouth.
And with an ease to have them seen,
As if I let them get to me.
...

Wouldn't it be great,
If those who participated...
In the creating of chaos,
And confusion they have initiated...
...
