Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You've hurt me...
But I'm not crushed.
At least to you,
I will not admit it!
...

Each time you cry.
I feel you near me.
I feel you weeping...
Sad tears,
...

Sometimes the right one comes too late.
And we are left to appreciate,
The one who offers 'things' and not love.
...

So it is, as I am.
To see and live and breathe...
To be here with you near.
...

Please give it,
What ever it is.
Please give it,
What ever it is.
...

You don't want nobody comin' to you just to freak,
Ooooobabe!
Do ya?
...

STOP!
What are you doing over there?

'Breaking down the set!
...

Now that they've been smeared and jeered...
After what they did to the economy and the atmosphere.
Where will their greed lead them...
When they have been some of the most disruptive,
...

When you see me believe me...
I am doing just what I do,
Like you.
Living my life and doing that right!
...

Father...
I am doing the best I can,
To keep my eye fixed upon You.
...
