Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

MONEY
MONEY
MONEY
...

Anyone can install shutters,
On an opened window.
To close when one chooses.
And one...
...

Nothing today is as it had existed.
And yet,
Many are praying for a yesterday to return...
To be for them as they wish.
...

Making attempts,
To reach back for times...
That should have long been lived,
And put into existence THEN...
...

There is a burning desire,
To have copies of his birth certificate...
To validate his leadership.
As those disgruntled demand!
...

What has been revealed,
Has been revealed.
Even with eyes tightly closed...
What has been revealed,
...

When you miss me...
That's when we kiss a lot!
And when we're touching...
That's when we talk nonstop!
...

Just because I have welcomed you,
Into my home.
And I have showered you with hospitality...
You do not have my permission,
...

Give me some of those walnuts.
Dried cranberries, brown sugar...
And rolled oats to bunch up.
...

Keep it cool if you choose to.
With that cool in you used.
Don't ever let it loose...
To slip away from you.
...
