Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

There are those who are extremely happy,
And proud to see those of color suffering.
This allows them to validate their wicked ways,
With a feeling better of themselves discreetly.
...

By the time most have decided,
To appreciate what to them comes...
Without strings attached,
It has already been enjoyed by someone,
...

Congratulations.
I see you have added a new submission.

'Yes I did.
...

Frazzled by the foolishness turned on,
And the quality that's gone...
As the people try to pawn,
All their values quick.
...

I remember those days,
When people volunteered their services...
Without getting paid. This was a civil duty,
Just to keep their neighborhoods...
...

I have finally seen the light.
And the error of my ways.

'Congratulations.
...

Life,
Is what we make it.
But some will sit,
To see life as a riddle.
...

Too blind to recognize.
No one really knew,
Who they saw on a regular basis.
And this was not encouraged,
...

The premise is there,
Based upon certain assumptions...
To us given.
Although the promise to deliver,
...

On that avenue where your heartbreak is chased,
I follow you with wishes,
All your bitter kept feelings from you...
Fades away.
...
