Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You can make up your mind,
That you will...
Find the time to be,
More exclusive...
...

I'll remain and keep myself different.
You'll campaign to keep yourself distant.
And make claims the other is missing,
What each of us has that will succeed.
...

A relating to a yesterday of one's greatness,
To leave none of it invested in younger generations...
With a maintaining of it as a prize to prioritize,
Can not for them, the young alone...
...

Keeping my mistakes replayed,
Is just too much.
With a play decaying,
Out of touch!
...

The fun, the game...
And the ones playing it,
Will never be diverse enough...
To beat the 'spirit' or the message.
...

Are those who shake a tail feather,
In more control than those...
Shaking all their feathers?
And if so...
...

Why is icecream called icecream?
Instead of what it is?
Milk that is creamed,
With added sugar and flavoring...
...

If juice can be extracted from a potato,
Like a tomato or carrot...
Why can't that happen to a banana?
Although it can be argued that potato juice,
...

Softly...
Has left aggression.
And...
I could not hold onto that,
...

If it wasn't for repeated questioning,
We'd all be sitting unsure of ourselves.
And,
Expressing doubt...
...
