Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When people are given positions,
To perceive they have become...
Authorities that can select as they please,
What truth is to be allowed.
...

Today...
I've decided with hindsight shown,
All nonsense I have ever tolerated...
Has ended to be cemented,
...

More with it much to get,
When doubts are left to quit.
Is one's life to live effectively,
Away from closed windows wishing.
...

Don't get so upset,
To beat yourself down.
Delete defeating...
From it to feed.
...

Today excuse making,
Is presented as a defense.
And depending upon,
Who best uses denial...
...

No chores assigned to do,
Should one seek from them reward.
Since an experience to obtain,
Will eventually determine...
...

Doing less than my best,
Is not my objective.
My objective with this confessed,
Is to prevail until I have passed...
...

Disgust has yet to rush into the suburbs,
Where those living still believe...
The strife depicted by inner city dwellers,
Will not effect their perceptions...
...

Sanitation Department.
May I help you?

'Yes.
...

Threatened are the thinking species.
Those who dare it to expose,
Their close relationship...
With thoughts that are linked,
...
