Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Confusion sometimes a theory shared begins.
It is said to those who give,
To learn to receive...
And let just giving end!
...

They are praised and much rewarded...
For enhancing steps,
To fill and stock treasure chests.
And doing what it takes,
...

A shallowness began,
Comes to an abrupt...
And such a public end!
...

What creature is this,
That decides to begin explicit conflicts?
Doing things the opposite...
And spreading contagious disease.
...

Why has the interest faded?
I'm seeking someone real.
Not anyone I need to appeal...
To appease an ego conquest!
...

We are conditioned to fantasize truths,
And animate hatred as a form of entertainment!
Then we find ways to medicate ourselves...
To flee from realities haunting with nightmares.
...

Stillness is invited in the mind of one,
Who obtains a peaceful existence...
Over a period of time that comes.
...

Arrogance?
Yes.
I totally agree.
Freed from the traps of subservience,
...

'...well, I beg to differ.
I think it is imperative
That everyone familiarize themselves
With proper dining technique.
...

Doctrines?
What good are they...
If they are fought over?
But can not be enforced,
...
